Calming Chamomile

November 21, 2009 - 3:00PM

Many people enjoy the soothing benefits of chamomile in tea to relax at bedtime. Chamomile has been used for centuries to aid with sleep and digestion. In addition to its commonly recognized use for relaxation, chamomile (also known as earth apples for its sweet bouquet), possesses many therapeutic properties to revitalize the skin. In fact, German chamomile is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties and is excellent for regenerative skin care.

Applying a warm chamomile compress to the skin is a wonderful way to wake up a tired face in the morning or even to remove makeup in the evening. Add three to four drops of chamomile essential oil to a sink or basin filled with warm water. Swish and swirl the water a few times to disperse the oil. Soak a wash cloth in the water, wring it out and apply to the face.

Additionally, chamomile is gentle and soothing for dry or sensitive skin. Add several drops of chamomile essential oil to a bath to refresh and hydrate the skin, which is also beneficial after excessive sun exposure.

Whether enjoyed in tea or for an at home spa remedy, chamomile is a wonderful herb that provides many benefits for relaxation and the skin.
