organic chamomile flowers (Matricaria chamomilla) are harvested at their peak freshness. Chamomile is widely known for its gentle, soothing effects, commonly consumed as a calming tea that supports digestive health and is gentle enough for babies. It’s also used in hair and skin care products for its calming properties.
Chamomile, a member of the Asteraceae family, has white, daisy-like flowers with a scent similar to apple or pineapple. Native to Europe and western Asia, it can grow up to 24 inches tall. The name "chamomile" comes from the Greek words "kamai" (on the ground) and "melon" (apple). It's often referred to as German or true chamomile and has been used for centuries across various cultures, including ancient Egypt, for its medicinal and soothing qualities.
In Europe, chamomile has been used as a digestive aid and in various forms, including teas, baths, and compresses. It’s also used in Mexican and Native American traditions for respiratory and digestive support. Chamomile is considered a "cure-all" by some cultures, with other uses like attracting good luck or enhancing blonde hair.
Chamomile is gentle yet effective, promoting relaxation and easing stress and tension. It's especially beneficial for women and is thought to be calming for both children and adults. Popular preparations include chamomile tea, baths, and using chamomile in sachets for restful sleep.
