German Chamomile

Use in Skin Care and Remedies

Chamomile is the kind mother amongst the plants. Not only is its antispasmodic side helpful for many women's ailments, it also has a warm and comforting nature. It shines in the sun but with a light that is soft and kind rather than gaudy or dazzling. One could see the hollow flowerhead as a symbol of the womb. The blue colour of the essential oil chamazulene is also the expression of something soothing.

In Dr.Hauschka Skin Care chamomile is used for its anti-inflammatory properties, e.g. in Eye Solace, Cleansing Cream, Rhythmic Conditioner Sensitive, Rejuvenating Mask, Soothing Mask, Neem Hair Oil and Neem Nail Oil.
