German Chamomile

Matricaria chamomilla/recutica-distilled from the flower.  Inky blue, strong, sweetish, warm herbaceous odor.  Many of the same qualities as ROMAN CHAMOMILE. German Chamomile contains Azulene, a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It is this azulene that gives it a deep blue color.
This blue crystal is not actually present in the plant, but forms in the oil and only a small quantity is needed.

Generally considered non-toxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritating in low doses.  Dilute well for topical use.
