Growing up on a herb farm, I learnt the process of distillation from the ground up. At an early age I was helping at the distillery, then watching it change over the years. With all the crops we have grown over the years, I have always had a love for our Roman Chamomile. My summer holidays were filled every year learning about the harvesting and distillation of this amazing plant. The variety we grow here is a rather special plant. Some of the original plants are over 40 years old now. They have helped propagate what we grow today. The plants lie dormant through out the winter months, waiting for the weather to settle until late spring when it suddenly starts showing signs of life. The plants grows slowly till they combine and form a carpet the fields, with white flowers arriving at the beginning of summer. The Roman Chamomile blooms fully in late July & August.
Life crept on, the farming business grew and then the boys arrived with my eldest in 2015. They have all grown up within the farming world. Even helping monitor the distillery with us when they were babes in arms whilst the Chamomile was being distilled.
Since they were tiny we have been using the Chamomile oil directly into their baths. Adding 2-3 drops into the bath water as it ran whilst filling the whole bathroom with aroma. It helped enormously with its calming properties and the boys sleep. We really started using it more regularly in lockdown because the youngest of the three boys suffered from dry and eczema like skin.
He was born just before lockdown and with nothing readily available I used the Roman Chamomile Oil in his bath religiously to help calm the irritation and itchiness.
The boys now run the baths themselves and always pop in it. The house fills with scent now most evenings. The Chamomile oil is now showing real signs that it helps our family and others with better sleep. Especially when life isn’t always going to plan it helps calm everyone’s systems down. We are finding that using it in the bath and with a drop or spritz on the pillow, bed time rituals are helping with good nights sleep.
The brand we started is a way for everyone to have a bottle of the oil in their homes. For good rest, recoup and for all to enjoy a full nights sleep.
I hope you, your family and your friends get as much out of this amazing essential oil as we do.
Charlotte.
