German Chamomile is a good choice for inflammation or allergic reactions. We find that it’s one of the best essential oils for inflammation and is also helpful for addressing allergic reactions.

*Reminder: E3 Dilutes may be applied directly to the skin.

After Shower: After showering, while your skin is still wet, put 3-5 drops of dilute in the palm of one of your hands and rub your hands together. Quickly and evenly spread the essential oil over your legs, arms, and torso. Avoid sensitive skin areas. For maximum skin hydration and to seal in moisture, apply cream, lotion, or body oil directly to damp skin.

Massage your skin and breathe in the aroma. Remain in the tub for 10-15 minutes.

Compress: Fill a basin with water. (Warm water relaxes and increases circulation. Cool water invigorates and relieves inflammation.) Add 5-7 drops of dilute and briskly stir. Lay in a washcloth, wring and apply to the area in need for approximately 1-5 minutes. Dip, wring and apply 3 more times.

Compress, Facial: Fill the sink with warm water. Add 1-3 drops of essential oil in the water and agitate the water to mix well. Lay in a clean washcloth, wring, and apply to face, with eyes closed, holding in place for 5-10 seconds. Repeat dipping, wringing, and applying – 3 times. Pat dry.
