Chamomile Essential Oil

[Guest guest]

You should never use pure essential oils directly on your skin as they will

burn. They are not meant to be used this way and to my knowledge cannot be

purchased in a retail setting. You can find chamomile essential oil in a

carrier oil at any health food store or aveda salon/spa. These oils will be

in a carrier of some sort - I know aveda uses coconut oil and I have never

seen anyone react to it. Amrita is a very reputable brand of essential oils

and aromatherapy diffusers you might seek out. You will not find a good

quality essential oil that is inexpensive. What you want to avoid is a

synthetic or reconstituted product. I guess the easiest thing to compare it

to is breast milk and formula. They are sort of the same but there are

something like 100 unexplainable compounds in breastmilk that can't be

duplicated. There are similar differences in essential oils. It is depends

on where the plants were grown and how and when they are harvested and how

they have been degraded in the manufacturing process. IMHO if you buy a poor

quality essential oil it is going to be missing much of the life force that

is the reason you are seeking it in the first place. You can add chamomile

to your cleanser, oil or moisturizer.
