When Dr. Nase first mentioned chamomile oil back in '99, I bought it

in person at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco for over $20 for about

1/2 an ounce. I bought roman chamomile oil, which was more expensive

than the blue chamomile oil they had. I don't know if there are more

than two varieties of chamomile oil, but Rainbow carried just these

two. The only difference between the two oils was that the blue

chamomile was blue-colored while the other had a light amber color.

Roman chamomile oil made my face really red and itchy. It doesn't

smell that pleasant either. I think if you do a search of the web you

should be able to find chamomile oil if you're interested in getting

it. As well, I know that chains like Whole Foods will special order

products too.

Hope that helps!

Hi all,

A little info on this-- there are several types of chamomile, but the most

common are German and Roman. They are somewhat different and German is

better for rosacea. The main reason I am writing is that it is UNSAFE to

place this directly on the skin undiluted. The only essential oils you can

use straight are lavender and tea tree. If you want to use the chamomile as

a treatment it need to be diluted in a carrier such as jojoba oil. One

could probably use vita-oil for this since it is made of several carrier

oils combined. Essential oils are found at just about any health food

store. A great book for more info on essential oils is The Complete Book of

Essential Oils & Aromatherapy by Ann Worwood.

Hope this helps,

Becky
