German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), sometimes called Blue Chamomile, is deeply relaxing and soothing, bringing both emotional comfort and physical calming to the skin. German Chamomile quells anxiety and helps you to feel centered and calm. Tones skin, calms redness, and relaxes the sense. Great for sunburns, itchy dry skin, or as an aftershave; use alone or combine with lavender or rose geranium hydrosol. Great in the diffuser at night.
Fresh German Chamomile hydrosol has a blue tint that quickly fades to a straw color. It is normal to observe a pink, coppery sediment at the bottom of this hydrosol. This is due to copper precipitating out of the solution. It is not a sign of contamination and poses no harm. It is also seen in Tulsi and other basil hydrosols. It is a sign of a quality hydrosol that has been distilled in a traditional copper still. It is thought that this dissolved copper is part of what makes these hydrosols so shelf stable as copper is a natural anti-microbial.
