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.

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! :)

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.

StrandedSnowMonkey 04-09-2014 08:52 PM

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 :)
