Chamomile Hydrosol is a soothing ally for skin of all types and all ages to keep on hand. It is the plant to reach for when the skin is irritated with acute flare-ups, like sunburns, rashes, or stings. Meanwhile, this powerful anti-inflammatory plant brings relief and balance to skin in more chronic states of ongoing stress, like acne or rosacea.
SKIN
One distinctive phytochemical in Chamomile Hydrosol is chamazulene, a deep blue terpenoid that instantly cools and relieves irritation. Chamazulene, along with another phytochemical, bisabolol, work to diffuse heat within the skin and reduce inflammation in acne-prone or rosacea conditions. Chamomile keeps the microbiome in balance through quorum sensing, which inhibits harmful or disruptive microbe behavior, but still allows for a healthy, diverse microbiome to thrive.
BODY
Chamomile is a classic nervine, known for its ability to settle the nervous system, as well as reduce pain and spasming. Applied topically, it offers a cooling, grounding presence that can be especially supportive where there is tension, aching muscles, or overstimulation of the nervous system. For the skin, Chamomile is relieving to bug bites, dermatitis of any kind, and over-exposure to sun.
SPIRIT
Chamomile is often turned to in moments of irritability, frustration, or overwhelm. It can shift the energy after anger and frustration, or soothe a tired child. Chamomile is calming medicine for emotional or spiritual inflammation. Use it to help with fear, impatience, or denser emotional states that are getting stuck in your field.
