Cosme-Phytami™ Roman Camomile EC

A perennial herbaceous plant native to southwestern Europe and North Africa, Roman chamomile commonly grows in sandy areas on the banks of ponds. Everywhere else, it is found in cultivated form, particularly in France, England, the United States and Argentina. Roman chamomile has enjoyed an excellent reputation in Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean region, for 2,000 years. It was used by the Egyptians and the Moors and was one of the nine sacred Saxon plants known as "maythen". Roman chamomile is one of the medicinal plants still traditionally used in many European countries. Its flowers are used as an infusion to relieve toothache and mouth ailments, and as an infusion to promote sweating and soothe migraines. In poultices, they are also used to alleviate neuralgia and rheumatic pain. It is said that Pharaoh Ramses II was embalmed with strips impregnated with Roman Camomile essential oil. Roman chamomile symbolises good luck and sweet dreams.
