Roman Chamomile grows close to the ground, reaching only up to a foot in height. It has gray-green leaves, flowers that resemble a daisy, and smells like an apple.

The plant has been nicknamed the “plant’s physician” because it has positive effects on plants growing nearby.

Ancient Romans used Roman Chamomile oil for courage during war. While the most common use of chamomile is in teas, Roman Chamomile oil can also be found in face creams, drinks, hair dyes, shampoos, and perfumes.

Roman Chamomile essential oil is known for its calming effect on the skin, mind, and body.
