What is Pranarom Chamomile Essential Oil 5ml used for?
Chamomile (Chamaemelum Nobile) essential oil is the richest in esters (more than 60), giving it relaxing and antidepressant properties (isobutyl angelate is thought to be an antidepressant). It is a digestive tonic: carminative and cholagogue, as well as parasiticide. It is also a sedative oil, calming the central nervous system and reducing anxiety when massaged.
It is also analgesic and spasmolytic. This essential oil also has hypotensive, calming, neurotonic and nerve-balancing properties. Finally, it is a mildly emmenagogue, anti-inflammatory (less so than matricaria), antipruritic, antiphlogistic and antiallergic plant.
On the light, sandy soils of western Europe, this perennial plant has feathery leaves, flower heads composed of sparse, tubular, white flowers, yellow in the center, inserted on a conical receptacle, and ribbed, yellowish achenes.
Antispasmodic properties
Noble Chamomile essential oil is renowned for its antispasmodic action, thanks in particular to the presence of isobutyl angelate. This substance has a powerful anti-spasmodic action, making it an effective option for calming the central nervous system when used for massage.
Sedative and Anxiolytic properties
The isobutyl angelate present in Noble Chamomile essential oil also has sedative and anxiolytic properties. This essential oil is thus renowned for its calming and de-stressing action, making it a natural choice for relieving anxiety and promoting relaxation. Its high ester content also makes it relaxing and antidepressant.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
Chamomile essential oil has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it an invaluable ally in relieving joint and muscle pain. It counteracts inflammation and exerts a local analgesic action, making it particularly useful for people suffering from neuro-arthritic pain. It is also often used in dentistry for its enhanced analgesic action.
Anti-parasitic properties
This essential oil is also recognized for its anti-parasitic properties, notably against intestinal parasites such as hookworm and lambiasis. Its use can help combat these parasitic infections and promote better digestive health.
Healing properties
Chamomile essential oil stimulates collagen and fibroblast formation, making it an effective healing agent for wounds and skin lesions. Its use can help accelerate the healing process and promote rapid skin recovery.
