History and Origin

Several types of chamomile exist, and they should not be confused. Roman chamomile is one of the medicinal plants for which the longest tradition is found in many cultures. It owes its name to the fact that the Romans cultivated it around the XVIth and XVIIth centuries.
Physicians used to prescribe it for numerous purposes, and they held it in high regard as a medicine. Of course, they prescribed higher concentrations than what we are today used to consuming for relaxation ("a couple flowers floating on an ocean of water").

Aromatherapy Data Sheet

Extraction : Steam distillation
pH : 3-3.3
Aroma and taste : Extremely sweet, honeylike aroma and taste. Even more apple overtones than the oil has but softer, more delicate. Occasionally, it will have a greener, more haylike aroma, but this appears to be a consequence of the distillation parameters and to me indicates an inferior product.
Stability and Shelf Life : Very stable, easily lasts for two years or more, although it is so popular that stock rarely lasts that long.
