Emotional Healing

Finding your true self & purpose is the essence of this flower. Roman Chamomile types are so consumed by their daily activities (some of which may be very mundane and meaningless) that they are unable to notice what is really important in life. Roman Chamomile softens and over active ego and guides the soul along where it needs to be going.
