                        Herb Description

                        Flower tops are used, fresh or dried. A tea made with up to 3 grams, or about a Tablespoon of dried herbs can be steeped for up to 10 minutes. A bath can be taken with up to about 2 cups of dried flowers.

                        Essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers, or supercritical carbon dioxide extraction is done because it yields a higher amount of chamazulene. Oil is blue with a floral, sweet, herbaceous aroma. German chamomile is the most expensive of the chamomiles, and identifiable by its blue color.
