The Roman chamomile essential oil has a sweet, apple-like fragrance. German chamomile oil has a sweet, straw-like fragrance.
Both Roman and German chamomile have excellent calming properties, but Roman chamomile is more effective for irritation, impatience and feeling disagreeable, and has great value in treating PMS and othemenstrual and menopausal problems, while German chamomile is superbly effective on the skin, not only to sooth and calm, but to heal and for tissue regeneration.
