German Chamomile is particularly effective when used with a compress, either hot or cold. If you are suffering from a 'buzzing' head after a stressful day, try adding 2 drops of German Chamomile and 1 drop of Lavender to a bowl of ice cold water. Dip a folded face flannel into the water, wring it out and place it across your forehead, lie back and relax. Alternatively, try using in a hot compress to ease general aches and pains.

German Chamomile is also an excellent addition to skincare products for dry or sensitive skin. Try 1 drop of German Chamomile and 3 drops of Mandarin in 10ml of Avocado oil as an alternative moisturiser.

Do not use German Chamomile at all during early pregnancy and only on specialist advice thereafter.
