German Chamomile vs Roman Chamomile

Most people prefer the smell of Roman Chamomile Essential Oil but German Chamomile does have a beautiful sweet herbal chamomile aroma as well.

If you are looking for a strong anti-inflammatory oil, your best bet would be to go with German Chamomile,

but...

If great emotional applications are what you want, you should choose Roman Chamomile.

In either case, both oils have wonderful attributes and I suggest you look at them all before you make your final choice.
