Chamomile essential oil is known for its ability to help lower the body's temperature. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and calming properties, which can lead to a cooling effect on the body, making it particularly useful during times of fever or heat-related discomfort. This quality is often attributed to its mild sedative effects, which promote a state of relaxation and can indirectly contribute to temperature regulation.

Fennel, while beneficial for digestion and other health aspects, is not typically recognized for lowering body temperature. Lavender, known for its calming and soothing properties, can aid in relaxation and potentially help with sleep but does not specifically lower body temperature. Eucalyptus is often used for respiratory issues and has a cooling effect due to its strong and refreshing aroma, but it is not specifically known for reducing body temperature like chamomile is. Thus, chamomile stands out as the essential oil most directly associated with temperature reduction.
