What is the difference between Roman chamomile and German chamomile?

Chamomile and chamomile matricaria are two different plants, although they belong to the same family. The main difference lies in their appearance and medicinal properties. Roman chamomile appears as small white pompons, with a pale yellow center. Chamomile matricaria, also known as German chamomile, resembles a small daisy. As for their medicinal virtues, Roman chamomile is commonly used for its calming properties, while matricaria chamomile is mainly used for its anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile matricaria hydrosol is an excellent anti-inflammatory, a precious ally against eczema and joint pain.

What are the benefits of matricaria chamomile?

Chamomile Matricaria Hydrosol offers many benefits thanks to its exceptional therapeutic properties. First and foremost, it is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, helping to relieve skin inflammation such as eczema or irritation. This hydrosol is also used for its calming properties on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress and facilitate digestion. An excellent anti-inflammatory, chamomile hydrosol will be a precious ally for people suffering from joint pain or osteoarthritis. A daily dose of the equivalent of 3 tablespoons of chamomile hydrosol diluted in water will considerably reduce pain and improve ease of movement.

How to use German chamomile for the face?

Chamomile Matricaria Hydrosol is an excellent face-care product thanks to its moisturizing, soothing and balancing properties. Simply apply it to the face with a cotton pad to cleanse and benefit from its properties. You can use it morning and night as a toner to refresh and soothe your skin. In the event of redness or irritation, Chamomile Matricaria Hydrosol is an effective natural remedy. You can also incorporate it into your homemade masks or lotions to take advantage of its many benefits.

Which chamomile is anti-inflammatory?

Chamomile Matricaria, also known as German Chamomile, has anti-inflammatory properties. Camomile Matricaria Hydrolat, which is obtained by steam distillation of this plant, contains these same anti-inflammatory benefits. It can be used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and sensitive skin, thanks to its soothing and regenerative properties. It can also be a lifesaver for people suffering from osteoarthritis or inflammatory pain, by taking the equivalent of 3 tablespoons of chamomile hydrosol diluted in water every day.

What is the difference between floral water and hydrosol?

Hydrolat and floral water are often used interchangeably, but they are not specifically the same product. Hydrolat is the direct product of steam distillation of the plant, whether the flowers or another part of the plant. It contains the water-soluble aromatic molecules extracted by distillation, giving the hydrolat its subtle fragrance and natural benefits. Floral water, on the other hand, is not specifically produced by steam distillation. Often used in cosmetics, it may, in certain more industrial manufacturing processes, simply be flavored water, without containing all the plant's active ingredients. In short, hydrolat contains small quantities of the plant's essential oils, making its effects more powerful. Floral waters can sometimes have aromas or essential oils added to reinforce the fragrance, which is not the case with hydrolats, which are 100% natural.

Suffering from kidney failure. Cat treated with Semintra and Amodip for blood pressure. High urea levels causing stomach pain. Can I give [it], if so, how much per day? Thank you.

Yes, you can give Roman chamomile hydrosol to soothe digestive pain; it's very gentle and well tolerated by cats. I'd also add lovage and lemon balm hydrosols to support the kidneys and calm discomfort. A tablespoon a day, diluted in water or food, is a suitable base.

For a golden retriever, how much matricaria chamomile should be given?

For a dog the size of a Golden Retriever, the generally recommended dosage for a hydrosol is 2 to 3 tablespoons per day, to be mixed directly into their water bowl or food. It is advisable to administer courses of treatment for a maximum of 3 weeks, followed by a one-week break.

What is the difference between German chamomile and Roman chamomile?

The difference between these plants lies mainly in the appearance of their flowers and their therapeutic properties. The yellow center of Roman Chamomile is rounded, pompom-shaped, and it is highly valued for its calming and relaxing virtues against stress or insomnia. Conversely, German Chamomile (or Matricaria chamomilla) has a conical center resembling a small daisy and is distinguished by its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for skin problems or pain.

La Plante Matricaria German chamomile

Nom Latin: Matricaria Recutita

Partie de la plante: Flowering Summit

Origine: France

Native to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Matricaria, also known as German Chamomile, is now widespread throughout most of Europe, colonizing neglected land and untreated fields. Whether wild or cultivated, Chamomile is harvested in summer, when it is in full bloom. Its name comes from the Greek chamos (because it grows close to the ground) and melos (because its flowers have an apple-like fragrance). The genus name Matricaria comes from the Latin matrix, -icis “1. reproductive, female, 2. matrix” and the suffix -arius, -aria, alluding to the plant’s virtues. Finally, it’s the plant of blond hair!

Très bon hydrolat

J'ai une peau très (très) sèche, et tous les ans en été j'ai des plaques d'eczéma qui apparaissent sur mon poignet gauche et sur le dessus de mon pied gauche.

J'ai essayé des tas de crèmes sans succès

J'ai donc testé l'Hydrolat de camomille. (en parallèle avec l'hydrolat de cèdre de l'Atlas)
Quelques vaporisations le matin et une ou deux fois dans la journée
Et le miracle, plus de démangeaisons, pratiquement instantanément.
Et chose inattendu pour moi, les plaques ont totalement disparues,
en une semaine.

Excellent

Je l’utilise dans ma routine du soir sur mon visage et un ou deux sprays dans la bouche pour me détendre et ma fille sur son cuir chevelu et ses cheveux pour rafraîchir sa coiffure et éviter que le cuir chevelu ne la gratte

Excellent hydrolat utilisé comme anti- inflammatoire pour douleurs articulaires en complément d'autres médications.
