German Chamomile is particularly effective when used with a compress either hot or cold. If you are suffering from a buzzing head after a stressful day try adding 2 drops of German Chamomile & 1 drop of Lavender to a bowl of ice cold water. Dip a folded face flannel into the water wring it out & place it across your forehead lie back & relax. Alternatively try using in a hot compress to ease general aches & pains. German Chamomile is also an excellent addition to skincare products for dry or sensitive skin.

Do not use German Chamomile at all during early pregnancy & only on specialist advice thereafter. ...
