Research & Evidence
alpha-Bisabolol oxide A is a sesquiterpene oxide and one of the major components of German chamomile essential oil, closely related to alpha-bisabolol and bisabolol oxide B. It forms part of the overall terpenoid profile to which chamomile’s traditional soothing and anti-inflammatory reputation is attributed, but little is established about the isolated oxide on its own.
