Roman Chamomile essential oil has a sweet, fruity, and herbaceous aroma with a pleasant, apple-like note. The oil is typically pale to clear in color, which sets it apart from German Chamomile oil, which is typically deep blue. Roman Chamomile essential oil is considered one of the gentlest essential oils and is often recommended for those who are new to aromatherapy. It is also a common choice for individuals seeking relaxation, stress relief, and improved sleep. To help calm children, diffuse Roman Chamomile oil at home or dilute
1~2 drops with coconut oil and apply the mixture topically to the area in need.
Pregnant women should avoid ingesting and topically applying undiluted essential oils throughout pregnancy. Instead, try inhaling essential oils or adding them to a diffuser.
Make sure to store essential oils out of reach of children. You¡¯ll also want to keep your oils away from excessive light or heat, as this can alter the chemical properties of an essential oil significantly.
Always supervise essential oil application with your children. Because children have more delicate skin, it¡¯s a good idea to dilute oils before applying them topically.
