Roman Chamomile: Product Highlight

Roman Chamomile: Product Highlight

Plant Details  Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) is a flowering perennial plant in the Asteraceae family.  It is native to areas of southern and western Europe and can be found growing wild in a variety of climates.  Roman Chamomile is sometimes also referred to as English chamomile, low chamomile, garden chamomile, or ground apple.  Chamomile is a low-growing plant whose foliage remains under six inches while solitary flower stalks reach ten to twelve inches in height.  The leaves of the plant are bipinnate and finely dissected, growing alternately along the ground crawling stems.  Roman Chamomile leaves can vary from bright to dark green in color and have a soft downy texture.  The daisy-like flowers grow on stems that extend tall above the leaves.  Roman Chamomile flowers have prominent yellow centers surrounded by white ray petals.  The flowers typically bloom in June and July with some continuing into early fall.  History The word Chamomile is derived from the Greek term “chamaimēlon” which means "earth apple" and it is said to be inspired by the sweet apple-like scent of the plant.  Roman Chamomile obtained the Latin name "nobilis" because of its believed therapeutic properties.  Roman Chamomile is able to grow in many types of soil and withstand a range of climates, proliferated in areas where it was spread, and became an integral part of the traditional medicinal practices in many cultures.  Roman Chamomile was used by the Ancient Egyptians in dedications to their gods because it was thought to have healing properties.  It was viewed as a symbol of omnipotence associated with the sun god, Ra.  They also used Chamomile in the treatment of an acute fever illness they called Ague.  Hieroglyphics show Ancient Egyptian women of nobility using Roman Chamomile oil in skincare and it was also used in the embalming process to preserve nobility in tombs.  Roman Chamomile was described as one of the nine sacred herbs by the Anglo-Saxons in the herb guide, ‘Lacnuga’, and they used it heavily in ceremonies and healing practices.  During the Middle Ages, Roman Chamomile herbs and oil were used in tinctures and salves meant to treat a wide range of ailments, including coughs, fevers, inflammation, nausea, and skin conditions.  It was popular during this time as a strewing herb, which helped create a fragrant atmosphere at large gatherings and celebrations.  When stepped upon, the essential oils in the Chamomile flowers would release their sweet floral fragrance into the air.  Chamomile flowers were also added to beer during the Middle Ages to give the brew a bitter flavor, later being replaced by hops in this capacity.   Extraction When Roman Chamomile flowers begin to bloom in the summer, they can be harvested every fourteen days, up to six times per season.  After harvest, the Chamomile flowers are quickly transported to kilns to be air dried before distillation.  Ten pounds of fresh flowers will reduce to around five pounds of dried plant material.  Roman Chamomile essential oil is extracted from the flowers of the plant through steam distillation, with the oil yield being 0. 3% to 1% of the weight of the plant matter.  The resulting essential oil is thin and clear, with a fruity sweet, and herbaceous aroma.   Benefits & Uses Used in aromatherapy, Roman Chamomile Essential Oil has been found to possess soothing properties for the mind and body.  It is believed to diminish stress and anxiety and help to encourage feelings of calm and relaxation for a tranquil and refreshed mood.  Roman Chamomile Essential Oil has been found to enhance sleep, helping to relieve the effects of insomnia and other sleep disorders.  It is known to speed up sleep onset and extend sleep duration for a more restful and rejuvenating night.  When diluted and used topically, Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is thought to be calming and cleansing for the skin.  It has been found to combat dark spots and signs of aging and encourage skin cell regeneration for a smooth and youthful complexion.  Roman Chamomile Essential Oil may help to nourish and moisturize the skin while helping to improve skin tone and texture.  It is believed to cleanse the skin to diminish acne and blemishes while being gentle enough for all skin types.  Roman Chamomile is known to contain anti-inflammatory properties that may help to soothe irritated skin while also working to decrease redness and swelling.  It may help to encourage quick healing of minor cuts and scrapes and combat bacteria that may lead to infection.  In haircare, Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is believed to cleanse and moisturize the scalp to alleviate dry flaky skin and support healthy hair strands.   Here are some recipes using Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

Essential Oil Recipes for Wellness While Traveling

Essential Oil Recipes for Wellness While Traveling

Nothing can stop an exciting vacation in its tracks like arriving at the destination and starting to feel unwell.  Travel is supposed to be about enjoyment but the stress of planning, lack of proper sleep on a long day, or new germs in new places can get us down before the fun even starts.  With all that it takes to make a trip successful, traveling can take a toll on our minds and bodies so it is important that we make sure to take extra steps to support our wellness when we're on the road.  Being proactive about staying healthy and feeling our best while traveling can ensure that we always have the energy and motivation to enjoy our vacation to the fullest.  Packing our bags with a few handmade products utilizing the amazing benefits of essential oils can help us see the world and feel our best.  Here are a few essential oil recipes to help support our health and wellness while traveling… Meet & Greet Hand Sanitizer Spray Ingredients 4 oz Amber Glass Bottle with Spray Top 2 oz of High Percentage Alcohol 1 oz of Witch Hazel Extract 1/2 oz of Distilled Water 1/2 oz of Fractionated Coconut Oil 10 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil 10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil 10 drops of Lavender Essential Oil Instructions Add the alcohol, witch hazel, and fractionated coconut oil to the bottle.  Add the essential oils and fill the remainder of the bottle with water, leaving a little space at the top.  Shake well before each use.  Spray on your hands and rub them together vigorously.   High Altitude Soothing & Focusing Roll On  Ingredients 10 ml Amber Glass Roll-On Bottle 1/3 oz of Fractionated Coconut Oil 5 drops of Frankincense Essential Oil 3 drops of Bergamot Essential Oil 2 drops of Cedarwood Essential Oil Instructions Add the essential oils to the bottle.  Fill the rest of the bottle to the top with fractionated coconut oil.  Replace the rollerball and cap, gently shake, and roll across the skin.    Bon Voyage: Exfoliating & Nourishing Travel Soap Ingredients 24 Silicone 4oz Round Soap Molds 24 Slices of Natural Loofah 24 oz of Olive Oil 12 oz of Coconut Oil 12 oz of Palm Oil 6 oz of Sweet Almond Oil 6 oz of Hemp Seed Oil 3 oz of Avocado Oil 6 oz of Shea Butter  14o z of Distilled Water 6 oz of Sodium Hydroxide Lye 3 oz of Pirates Blend 2 oz of Sandalwood Vanilla Fragrance Oil Instructions Weigh and combine the essential oil blend and fragrance oil, then set them aside.  Place one slice of loofah into each cavity of the molds and set them aside.  Weigh each base oil and butter and combine them in a large bowl.  Place the bowl on top of a large pot about ⅓ full of water.  Bring the water to a boil.  Heat the oils until fully melted and blended, stirring occasionally.  While the oils are melting, weigh out the lye and water in two separate bowls.  Slowly add the lye to the water while gently stirring until the lye is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear.  Let the oils and lye mixture both cool to 120 degrees or below, ensuring that they are within 10 degrees of each other.   Place the immersion blender into the oils, tapping it on the bottom of the bowl to release any air bubbles.   Slowly and gently pour the lye water into the oil mixture.  Pouring down the side of the bowl or down the shaft of the immersion blender can reduce the chance of splashing.  Pulse the blender a few times, watching as the oils and lye start to combine.  Switch between short pulses and stirring with the blender until the mixture comes together to a light trace.   Working quickly, stir (do not blend) in the essential oil and fragrance oil blend.  Once the soap reaches about a medium trace, slowly pour it into the molds over the loofah slices, scraping the bowl to ensure no soap is left behind.  Tap the molds on the table or counter to release any trapped air bubbles.   Cover the molds and allow the soap to sit in the molds for 48-72 hours at room temperature.
