Description

Achillea millefolium

Also known as Milfoil oil this member of the asteraceae family is related to German Chamomile. Our oil is produced by steam distillation of the dried herb. It has a deep blue green colour and a lovely sweet, herbaceous scent. The herb from which it is distilled has been used throughout history for its healing action. The oil blends well with Clary Sage, Chamomile, Valerian and Vetiver.

The chamazulene content of this oil, like German Chamomile, gives excellent antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. When used in a blend it helps people to become more open.
