Mountain Valley Botanics Hydrosol, German Chamomile, Organic

German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), sometimes called Blue Chamomile, is deeply relaxing and soothing, bringing both emotional comfort and physical calming to the skin. German Chamomile quells anxiety and helps you to feel centered and calm. Tones skin, calms redness, and relaxes the sense. Great for sunburns, itchy dry skin, or as an aftershave; use alone or combine with lavender or rose geranium hydrosol. Great in the diffuser at night.

Fresh German Chamomile hydrosol has a blue tint that quickly fades to a straw color. It is normal to observe a pink, coppery sediment at the bottom of this hydrosol. This is due to copper precipitating out of the solution.  It is not a sign of contamination and poses no harm.  It is also seen in Tulsi and other basil hydrosols. It is a sign of a quality hydrosol that has been distilled in a traditional copper still. It is thought that this dissolved copper is part of what makes these hydrosols so shelf stable as copper is a natural anti-microbial.

All of our hydrosols and herbal products start out as seed or seedling on our small, family farm.

This all helps us to produce high quality, vital herbs and flowers that produce exquisite, vital hydrosols. Our hydrosols are never the by-product of an essential oil. They are aromatically rich and complex. Experience the difference, you'll never go back.
