Essential Oil Summary

Plant Summary

Cape Chamomile, Eriocephalus tenuifolius, is an aromatic, woody, evergreen shrub that produces masses of white flowers in spring followed by distinctive fluffy white seed heads. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Prune as needed for shape. Propagate from cuttings or seeds. The leaves yield a deep blue essential oil traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and antiseptic.

Creating with Essential Oils

Essential oils are also known as volatile oils. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants by steam distillation, resulting in a very concentrated herbal preparation. Essential oils are not safe to ingest but can be safely used in diffusers or topical first-aid and for cosmetic preparations like creams, shampoos, massage oils, and wound balms. As a guide use 1-4 drops in an essential oil burner, and 1 drop in 5mls carrier oil or a 1% concentration in topical preparations. Keep safely out of reach of children and animals.
