11 Surprising Benefits Of Camomile Essential Oil

Camomile oil is extracted from the flowers of the camomile plant, which is very popular as a flowering plant. There are two types of camomile, the Roman camomile, which is scientifically known as Anthemis nobilis and the German camomile, whose scientific name is Matricaria chamomilla. Although the essential oils extracted from both varieties are quite similar in some medicinal properties, their composition is different and they do possess certain specific qualities that are worth noting.
Roman Camomile oil is composed of alpha pinene, beta pinene, camphene, caryophyllene, sabinene, myrcene, gamma-terpinene, pinocarvone, farnesol, cineole, propyl angelate, and butyl angelate. German camomile oil, on the other hand, is composed of azulene (also called chamazulene), alpha bisabolol, bisabolol oxide-A & B, and bisabolene oxide-A.
While Roman camomile oil is more calming and works as a better emmenagogue, German camomile oil is a very powerful anti-inflammatory agent due to the presence of a compound called Azulene.
It is a nitrogenous compound and is responsible for giving the oil its characteristic deep blue color. However, these are not the only medicinal properties of Camomile Oil. There are many more, and the properties given below include those of the Roman as well as the German variety, except where mentioned otherwise.
