Chamomile Testimonials
"My son had a poison oak rash. We had success layering Peppermint and Roman
Chamomile." Elizabeth
"I've had fever blisters all my life. I myself have found that when Roman Chamomile is rubbed into the blisters clockwise and very firmly,
especially when you first feel the itching symptoms makes the blisters go back into your body and get reabsorbed."
Marc
"My baby daughter's bottom became quite raw (red and sore) after her first couple days on solid
foods.
I applied a small amount of Lavender (alternating with Roman Chamomile) with each diaper change and
by the next day the redness was almost completely gone! I do the same for diaper rash and it clears up within 24hrs every time."
"I used Roman Chamomile to relieve the intense, throbbing pressure of an approaching
migraine. The headache never came. I applied it to each
of the points on my face and neck that I felt sinus pressure, and usually develop the knife-stabbing
migraine pain. The pain and pressure
were gone almost instantly. I have tried this on other migraine sufferers."
