Roman vs. German Chamomile essential oil differences arise because these oils are derived from different species of chamomile plants. Due to the different plant species as well as environmental properties where each plant is grown, these oils have slightly different aromas and different therapeutic benefits.
Roman Chamomile essential oil has a slightly sweeter smell, while German Chamomile is more herbaceous and floral. Both oils help you feel calmer, reduce anxiety, and work as effective natural treatments for insomnia. However, German Chamomile oil has slightly more anti-inflammatory compounds and is better for healing skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.
