    • How to choose Chamomile essential oil

    Chamomile essential oil is a rare and precious product, therefore toto identify a quality product it is good to take some aspects into consideration:

    • Chamomile essential oil has a percentage of yield on green matter very low therefore the price must be proportionate to the complexity of the processing ;
    • the color of chamomile essential oil is deep blue, its depth declaring its quality. For this reason it is good to know that it is often adulterated with synthetic additions sometimes even starting from different essences such as Moroccan Chamomile; these products, manipulated or obtained in part from other plants, are not comparable to authentic chamomile essential oil and do not convey the same therapeutic properties.

    By purchasing Il Labirinto Chamomile essential oil, you are choosing a product of the highest quality, with authentic characteristics:

    • the plants are left to germinate spontaneously in our fields; we do not intervene with any product on their growth and development to guarantee a 100% natural product
    • we observe a low temperature distillation method to best preserve the therapeutic properties of the essential oil and to gather the complete organoleptic range that constitutes this precious essence.

    Chamomile is a very versatile plant with various therapeutic and healing properties. Both the hydrosol and essential oil can be used for a wide range of concerns, from skincare to stress management.

    If you are looking for a natural remedy to improve your health and daily well-being, Chamomile is a delicate and safe choice.
