No problem!

You’re welcome Jennifer!
Has anyone made this and does it really work……
I cannot use any blue oils – could I substitute roman chamomile?
You could use Roman Chamomile as a sub, or just use more of the Lavender Oil for similar effect
Love this oil! So good for inflammation and smells so sweet. Exactly like chamomile to me.
Can’t wait to try this on my Rosacea!
Thinking I better get this tomorrow!
Just got chamomile Roman and now I feel I must order chamomile German. Lots of good recipes and I want to especially try the counting sheep cream.
German Chamomile smells oddly like chocolate to me. I love it. What gives it its blue color?
A chemical constituent called Chamazulene. 🙂 It’s also present in Blue Yarrow and Blue Tansy. 🙂
Thanks for the information – it looks like a useful oil to have on hand for the kids (and frazzled parents 😉
Absolutely! It’s a great oil for everyone!
