Plant Origin
Blue Chamomile oil is mostly cultivated in Hungary, Egypt, Eastern Europe and France, while Roman Chamomile is cultivated in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Morocco and France.
Roman Chamomile is a small perennial herb, with a hairy stem and feathery pinnate leaves, daisy like white flowers (larger than those of Blue Chamomile) and grows about 25 cm high, while Blue Chamomile grows about 60 cm high and has a hairless branching stem, with delicate feathery leaves and simple daisy like white flowers on single stems.
To the Egyptians it was a herb dedicated to the sun, to cure fevers, and to the moon, for its cooling ability. It was also recognized as a soother of nervous complaints and was used in shampoos, cosmetics and perfumes.
