German Chamomile is an effective pain relieving oil when selected due to it's ability to inhibit Cox-2  - the enzyme which is partially responsible for the inflammatory and pain response. It is particularly useful in that unlike Wintergreen and Birch, German Chamomile inhibits only Cox-2 (as opposed to both Cox-1 and Cox-2) thus the stomach lining remains protected.
Its anti-histamine action is due to the chamazulene content (similar to Yarrow essential oil) which provides its characteristic inky-blue colour - which may stain clothing !

Cushings/PPID - research has shown that G Chamomile reduces ACTH levels in rats under laboratory conditions
Yamada K et al. (1996) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/8889052/

​Top Tip !
Apply topically undiluted on insect bites and where there is a histamine/inflammatory response. Mix with Aloe Vera for larger areas such as sweet itch.

Also consider offering:
  • Yarrow essential oil - for anti-histamine action
  • Plant extracts for Inflammation
  • Plant extracts for Pain
.Applied Zoopharmacognosy and offering plant extracts is not a substitute for veterinary care.
Consult your vet if you have any concerns for the welfare of an animal in your care
Always allow an animal to remove itself from an aroma and never put plant extracts in your animals feed
​ and always offer in a well-ventilated area
