Chamomile
I have some Roman Chamomile oil, and ended up with a plant, which also smells amazing :)
Curious to find out if anyone has a scented lawn? |
Interesting question Snow Monkey.
I will have to see if I can find one of those plants, it is also supposed to be a calming scent. Chamomile tea is also very relaxing. Dream Angel xx |
Hi :)
I think one of my books uses the word 'soothing' to describe it ~ I like the tea too! One of the reasons I asked, was because quite a few people recommend putting a few drops of oil on your feet. If you had the space in the garden, instead of walking across hot coals, you could walk across a bed of chamomile :D Oh! I just remembered a programme that I saw a while ago. It was about recalling childhood memories (if I remember correctly! lol), and the changes to the family garden. There was some steps, and I think that they planted some chamomile in between the slabs, so that you can catch the aroma now and again, as you walk about :) One of my books has a nice little profile go it. I should read more of it, as I read somewhere that less is more, but the other day I was listening to someone talking about putting a few drops every 3 to 4 hours, on your feet, when you need it ~ not just when you think, but when you have a cold etc ~ will have to update the picture! :) Snow Monkey |
Hello Snow Monkey !
Soothing is a better word, than calming. Very interesting on putting some drops of the chamomile oil on your feet, not too much or they might fall asleep ! :tongue: Nice idea of planting the chamomile between the steps in the garden. yes, you should read more about it and share it :wink: I think there is something about peppermint oil or lotion that also soothes the feet.

I adore chamomile. I drink chamomile tea a lot - it's great for stress monkeys like myself :D
Peppermint oil is refreshing for the feet, it's also a great deodoriser and helps to reduce soreness and inflammation. Also great to relax the stomach, curb the appetite, ease nausea, ease a headache and it's refreshing if you're feeling tired or rundown. I love peppermint too :smile: |
peppermint tea is one of my favorites too ! :smile:
|
I love chamomile, I drink a lot of tea and I feel so relaxed. And I also take lots of chamomile bubble baths and I just relax away. :smile:

Chamomile baths are great! Earlier I was flicking through a magazine, and came across a recipe for chamomile and honey ice cream :D
Oh! Peppermint tea is lovely ~ read somewhere a while back about how it can cool you down, or pep you up a little. Lemon is also good too :) Think I'll use the oil warmer tonight, before I drift off. Need to pick up some more lavender tomorrow, so perhaps I'll take another look in my book, to see what other oils they suggest to use with chamomile... |
Orange and ylang ylang work well.

Thanks! :)
I had some Ylang Ylang in my basic aromatherapy kit, so I gave it a whirl. Orange sounds good too ~ on a fruity tip, my book also suggested lemon and grapefruit It's interesting to read more about oils ~ Chamomile is for the throat chakra, and Ylang Ylang is for the heart chakra :) |
