Chamomile is a plant that has
been used since ancient Egypt in a variety of healing applications. Chamomile
is a native of the Old World; it is related to the daisy family, having
strongly scented foliage and flowers with white petals and yellow centers. The
name chamomile is derived from two Greek words that mean “ground” and “apple,” because
chamomile leaves smell somewhat like apples, and because the plant grows close
to the ground.
There are two varieties of
chamomile commonly used in herbal preparations for internal use and
for aromatherapy. One is called Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), with
contemporary sources in Belgium and southern England. Roman chamomile grows to
a height of 9 in (23 cm) or less, and is frequently used as a ground cover
along garden paths because of its pleasant apple scent. German
chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is grown extensively in Germany,
Hungary, and parts of the former Soviet Union. German chamomile grows to a
height of about 3 ft (1 m) and is the variety most commonly cultivated in
the United States, where it is used medicinally.
There are several types of
chamomile essential oil used in aromatherapy, and this makes it vital to choose
the correct type of oil for the therapeutic properties that is required. Roman
chamomile essential oil is the most popular ot the tree types of chamomile oils
used in aromatherapy, possibly due to its vast range of healing properties and
amazing versatility. Most people seem to prefer the fragrance of roman
chamomile oil to that of either the German or Maroc, and it certainly blends
well with a very wide range of essential oils.
The Latin name for roman chamomile is most commonly given in aromatherapy and botanical books as anthemis nobilis (Linnaeus), but there has been a growing trend of late to refers to this plant as chamaemelum nobile. Both names are correct and do refer to the same plant and not a different sub-species.

Essence of Chamomile Essential
Oil
The external uses of chamomile include
blending its essential oil with lavender or rose for scenting
perfumes, candles, creams, or other aromatherapy products intended to calm or
relax the user. Chamomile is considered a middle note in perfumery, which means
that its scent lasts somewhat longer than those of top notes but is less long
lasting than scents extracted from resinous or gum-bearing plants. Chamomile is
also a popular ingredient in shampoos, rinses, and similar products to add
highlights to blonde or light brown hair.
