• Very aromatic with a fruity, tending floral, flavor

There are several varieties and countries of origin of Chamomila, sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the flower heads, but the best quality comes from Egypt. The sandy loam and nutrients from the Nile create perfect growing . Camomile flowers have a yellow center and white petals, they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, camomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent.

Camomile can be made into a pleasant aromatic tea which is slightly bitter but with a fruity flavor. Like many teas and herbs camomile should be consumed without the addition of milk but this does not preclude additives such as honey, lime, lemon, cinnamon etc. One of the fun things to do with a widely used consumer herb like camomile is to make your own blend. Try camomile with peppermint or camomile with orange peel. The possibilities are endless and the main thing is experiment and have fun with tea!

• Full flavored and refreshing character with refreshing mint highlights

The best peppermint comes from the northwestern United States. The pure, moist mountain air of the spring and early summer growing season gives this peppermint some of the highest volatile oil counts of any member of the mint family. Generally (dependent upon weather patterns) the second cut (takes place during mid/end August) is the most flavorful, coolest and most pungent, (literally takes your breath away and makes your eyes water). Peppermint is an herb and contains no caffeine.

• Traditionally used to help support digestion, indigestion, insomnia, restlessness, stress, anxiety and more.

Studies have tested the theory that apigenin is the factor responsible for chamomile's quietening, mildly sedative, anti-inflammatory and anti-convulsive consequences. Other constituents such as Chamazuline, Azulene, Matricine and Bisabolol also have anti-inflammatory effects. Camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been described by Germans as "Alles zutraut", which means "capable of anything" on account of the German that chamomile can support many health concerns. The active ingredients are found in the essential oils from the vegetation of chamomile. Taken internally, Chamomile supports symptoms of chronic inflammation of the stomach, pyrosis, duodenum lesions and other digestive concerns including digestion difficulties and excessive gas. The flavonoid apigenin has been recognised for its capacity to urge calm and for its relaxation effects. Consequently, camomile is a popular herb used to help support occasional sleeplessness, stress and anxiousness.

Research has shown that apigenin is the agent in Chamomile that is responsible for Chamomile's calming, mildly sedative, anti-inflammatory and anti-spastic results. Other components of Chamomile, including Chamazuline, Azulene, Matricine and Bisabolol also have anti-inflammatory effects. Camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been defined by the Germans as "Alles zutraut", which means "capable of anything", due to their notion that chamomile can ease many ailments. The active ingredients are found in the aetherolea from the plants of chamomile.

Taken internally, Chamomile fights and addresses stomach aches, upset stomach, duodenum irritations and other alimentary canal problems including the inability to digest food and excess flatulency. The phytochemical apigenin has been commonly regarded for its potential to urge relaxation and for its calmative traits on humans. Thus, camomile is a well-liked supportive within reach of everyone that can be used to help support and help reduce strain, nervousness, anxiety and restlessness.

Studies focusing on devil's claw and participants suffering from chronic low back pain have concluded that devil's claw supplementation for one month outperformed the placebo and lessened the need for pain medication.

St. John's Wort is relaxing, anti-inflammatory and helps to mend nerve tissue; if back pain is stress-related, St. john's wort can provide support for anxiety and contributing emotional distress.

White willow bark was the herbal precursor to salycilic acid, or modern day aspirin; its similar chemical makeup makes it an effective pain supporter without any of the side effects.

Horsetail is included in this blend for its tissue-restorative abilities in addition to its ability to normalize the digestive tract - often a reason cited for lower back pain.

As well as having a calming effect on the mind, chamomile flower provides a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue.

• Traditionally used to help support digestion, indigestion, insomnia, restlessness, stress, anxiety and more.

Medicinal Usage

Camomile is perhaps the best known of herbal teas besides peppermint. English camomile tea has tonic, stomachic, diaphoretic, soporific, and antispasmodic qualities. German camomile is tonic, sedative, carminative, emmenagogue and diaphoretic. It is used in helping support colic, diarrhea, insomnia, indigestion, toothache, swollen gums, skin problems, joint pain, sciatica, and a host of other ailments. Both camomiles have been used to help support immunity issues.

As a good rinse for blonde hair, steep the dried flower heads in hot water, cool the infusion, then strain. Extracts of the two species are used in cosmetics such as hair dyes, shampoos, sunburn lotions, bath lotions, and other products. The oil can be used as a fragrance in soap, detergent, perfumes, and lotions.

The oil of German camomile contains chamazulene, farnesenee, alpha-bisabolol and other components. High-quality oil should be of a deep blue color. The oil has disinfectant and antiseptic properties. The component chamazulene is anodyne, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic. The plant also contains flavonoids, coumarins, a polysaccharide, choline, and amino acids.

Individuals allergic to ragweed pollen may, theoretically, suffer life-threatening symptoms by drinking camomile tea. However, only one report exists in the periodic scientific literature confirming an anaphylactic reaction produced by drinking camomile tea. Its long history of safe use would suggest that the great majority of people will have no adverse reactions from an occasional cup of tea. In large doses, Roman camomile may be emetic.

General Herb Information

Camomile is one of those ambiguous common names applied to a variety of closely related species. We will concern ourselves with two species: Hungarian or German camomile, Matricaria recutita (Matricaria chamomila), and Roman or English camomile, Chamaemelum nobile (Anthemis nobilis).

German camomile is an annual native of Europe and western Asia, growing from one to two feet high. It has a pale green, smooth, shiny stem with striations. The finely divided linear leaf segments are borne on numerous branches. The many terminal flower heads are in a comb-like formation and are about one-half to five-eighths of an inch in diameter. The disk flowers are yellow surrounded by ten to twenty white ray flowers. The receptacle is smooth, conical, elongated, and hollow inside. The fruit is a slightly curved, pale gray, smooth achene.

English or Roman camomile, a perennial native to Europe, is a low-growing herb with a creeping rhizome reaching a foot in height. The stems are branching, slightly hairy, and usually prostate or drooping, though sometimes erect. The downy, alternate, green-gray leaves are flattened and feathery in appearance. The flower heads are about an inch across and sparse compared with German camomile - a solitary head sits atop each flower stalk. The disk flowers are yellow; the ray flowers are white though sometimes absent. The receptacle is conical and solid. One showy double-flowered variety has large white blossoms. Nearly all the yellow disk flowers become white ray flowers. A petalless flower form is available from some herb plant sellers. "Treanague" a cultivar named after the estate from which it originated, is flowerless.

German camomile is grown from seeds sown directly in their garden location. The plants will self-sow freely. Watch out. They can become weeds! The seed bed should be well prepared as these seeds are very tiny. They can be scattered on the soil's surface, then gently ramped down with the flat side of a hoe. Sow as early in the spring as possible, as seedlings tend to become leggy and flower quickly under hot summer sun. Young seedlings, about one to two inches tall, are easily transplanted. Older seedlings do not survive transplanting well. If planted around the first of June in the North, expect flowering late July or early August. Blooms develop continuously.

Full sun and a moist sandy loam suit German camomile. Soil pH should fall between 6 and 8.5. English camomile likes full sun and a slightly acid-to-neutral garden soil with good drainage. It does not tolerate hot, dry weather.

English camomile can be started from seeds, cuttings, or by root division. Seedlings should have a six-to-twelve-inch spacing. When cultivating with a hoe, cover exposed or loose roots with soil.

A rich soil will produce a lush leaf growth but few flowers of English camomile. An acre may yield 400 to 600 pounds of the dried flowers. England produces most of the flowers.

Most seeds purchased as camomile, and dried camomile for tea, can be expected to be Matricaria recutita, grown commercially in Hungary, Egypt, Argentina, Belgium, Russia, Bulgaria, and Germany. To determine whether dried camomile flowers are German or English, carefully slice open the receptacle of the flower head. The receptacle of the German is hollow; the English is solid. Tea-bagged camomile often contains seeds. Tear open a package, plant the contents, and see what happens.

Preparation and Dosage: Infusions of one to two teaspoons of the product in a cup of boiling water are taken three times per day. Small amounts (1%) may be added to herbal tea mixtures as a brightening agent. Liquid extracts (1:1 extracts in 70% ethanol) may be used at a dose of 1 - 4 mL three times per day. The pale blue essential oil is used in aromatherapy.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been defined by Germans as "Alles zutraut", meaning "capable of anything" because of their perception that chamomile can mollify many ailments. The active additives are found in the fundamental volatile oils from the chamomile. Studies have shown that apigenin is the factor responsible for chamomile's anti-inflammatory, calming, mildly sedative and anti-convulsive results. Other components such as Azulene, Chamazuline, Bisabolol and Matricine even have anti-inflammatory effects.

Chamomile taken internally, helps support symptoms of stomach irritations and other digestive tract problems including indigestion, acute inflammation of the stomach, dyspepsia, and flatulence. The bioflavonoid known as apigenin, has been recognized for its calmative traits and ability to cause rest. Because of this, chamomile is a popular item used to help support and avoid tension, nervousness, restiveness, lack of relaxation and inability to fall asleep.

General Herb Information

Chamomile - Both German (Matricaria Chamomilla) and Roman (now called English) (Anthemis nobilis) chamomiles have the same characteristic thready, lacy leaves, small daisylike blossoms, and similar properties but different habits of growth; Roman (English) chamomile is called ground apple; German chamomile is the wild or bitter.

Propagation: Roman - Seed, easy germination; by root division; by layering of runners; German - Seed, easy germination; self-sows freely; fragrant plant.

Nature of Plant:

Roman variety is excellent for ground cover and paths, if mowed and rolled; German variety rises to 15 inches; its self-sowing propensities make it poor for the garden but prolific in production of flower heads.

Spacing of Mature Plants: 6 inches.

Cultural Requirements: Dry, light, sandy soil in full sun.

Uses

Flower Head: (Health) In infusions for sedative and for feverish colds, disinfectant, liquid extract applied to exposed parts of the body will keep off insects; (Household) as a rinse to keep golden tints of the hair;

Roman: (Industrial) Oil used in perfume, shampoo powder, hair rinse, flavoring for tobacco;

German: (Industrial) Oil is solvent for platinum chloride and because of that property is used in process of coating glass and porcelain with platinum; in perfumery process for blending compounds; combined with oils of patchouli, lavender and oak moss in perfumes.

Camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been described by Germans as "Alles zutraut", which means "capable of something" on account of their perception that chamomile can comfort many ailments. The active components are found in the basic volatile oils from the flowers of chamomile. Investigations have verified that apigenin is the aspect leading the way for chamomile's calming, anti-inflammatory, mildly calmative and anti-spastic outcomes. Other constituents such as Chamazuline, Azulene, Bisabolol and Matricine also have anti-inflammatory effects.

Chamomile taken internally fights and addresses stomach irritations and other alimentary tract problems including poor digestion, stomach health, reflux of acidic upset stomachids, and excessive gas. The flavonoid often called apigenin, has been identified for its calmative traits and ability to urge relaxation. As a consequence, camomile is a well-liked medication used to help support and help reduce nervousness, anxiety, restiveness, strain and restlessness.

Chamomile, taken internally, helps fight and handles stomach irritations and other digestive tract problems including difficulty in digesting, stomach aches, reflux of acidic upset stomachids, and excessive gas. The flavonoid which is called apigenin has been acknowledged for its calmative virtues and ability to urge relaxation. Accordingly, chamomile is a popular medical approach that can be used to help support anxiousness, nervousness, tension and sleep disorder.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been described in German as "Alles zutraut", which means "capable of whatever", owing to their concept that chamomile can console many ailments. The active elements are present in the basic aetherolea from the flowers of chamomile. Studies have proven that apigenin is the component accountable for chamomile's anti-inflammatory, calming, mildly calmative and anti-convulsive effects. Other parts such as Azulene, Chamazuline, Bisabolol and Matricine also have anti-inflammatory effects.

Name

Two different plants share the name chamomile, and a third, with a different name, contains many of the same chemicals. All three belong to the Compositae family of plants. The most widely used chamomile is known as the German or Hungarian chamomile (Matricaria recutita or Chamomilla recutita, or Matricaria chamomilla). The other chamomile is sometimes called Roman or English chamomile (Chamomillae romanae flos, Chamaemelum, Anthemis, Anthemidis flos,) and sometimes, just plain chamomile. A third, and very closely related plant is a flowering herb known as yarrow or milfoil (Archillea millefolium). In France the plant is variously referred to as Chamomille, Vvraie, and Petite Chamomille; in German, Kamille or Echte Kamille.

Source

The German chamomile is the main one grown commercially, both in Europe and the United States. It can be grown from seeds planted in any garden. Indeed, given half a chance, it will grow like a weed, which is exactly what has happened in Boulder, Colorado, where the Celestial Seasonings Company, a manufacturer of herbal teas, is located. Reportedly, seeds that have escaped from the factory have taken root all along the roadsides. Not only is German chamomile easier to grow, it also contains more of the oils that give chamomile its unique health properties. Dried flowers of English chamomile have an oil content of .5 to 1.0 percent. German chamomile may contain twice that amount. Once the oil is distilled from the flowers, it takes on a characteristic blue color. Seven distinct groups of chemicals have been found in the oil, but their effects are only beginning to be understood.


History

Europeans have used chamomile, in one form or another, to help support just about every sort of affliction. Culpeper's Complete Herbal, published in 1827, recommends it for "drying and binding," claims "it is excellent for helping support hemorrhoids," and that "it induces sleep and lessens bleeding. An ointment of the leaves supports wounds, and is good for inflammation, skin irritations, fistulas, and all such runnings as about with moisture."

Traditional Support Uses

Chamomile can be used as an antispasmodic, sedative, diuretic and demulcent.

Commission E Recommendations

Chamomile can be used for the potential to help support symptoms of anogenital irritation, bad breath, digestive tract health, digestive issues, inflamed gums, oral or pharyngeal inflammation, mucous membrane irritations, chronic respiratory infection, skin injury or irritation, spasms, and as a gargle or mouthwash.

Possible Effects

All of the active components in chamomile flowers are in the oil, which means that teas brewed from chamomile will contain only small amounts of the active components. Culpeper's claims are, however, at least partially true. Chamomile does have anti-inflammatory properties and it has also been shown to exert disinfectant effects. These two actions have been attributed to the molecules that give the oil its blue color, and to another molecule contained in the oil called bisabolol. The latter, along with a flavonoid molecule called apigenin, are thought to account for chamomile's ability to calm the stomach ("spasmolytic" actions). Bisabolol, because of its anti-inflammatory properties, is also said to aid in wound rejuvenating and in supporting chronic skin complaints. Sugar residues contained in the oil (polysaccharides), help stimulate the immune system.

Flavonoids found in chamomile oil (apigenin) are increasingly being recognized for their important beneficial effects. Flavonoids exert multiple actions, and their presence helps explain some of the beneficial results that chamomile users have been reporting for years. For example, chamomile is widely used to help support insomnia. Now it turns out that the apigenin molecule has a shape a bit like the shape of the active ingredient in synthetic sleeping pills and tranquilizers such as Valium and Halcyon. Because of the structural similarities between apigenin and Valium, apigenin is able to attach at the same sites in the brain as Valium and probably exerts the same effects. Other studies suggest apigenin fights the reuptake of neurotransmitters, which means that it acts in the same way as Prozac-like drugs.

Chamomile's ability to help support inflammation is also thought to be a result of its apigenin content. Like some of the anti-inflammatory products just now reaching the market, apigenin blocks the cytokine pathway and helps reduce inflammation from occurring. Other studies have shown that some components of chamomile oil reduce mast cells from releasing histamine, and since histamine is what causes many of the symptoms associated with allergic reactions, this may explain why many people claim that chamomile gives them support for their allergies.

Chamomile is also said to be an antiseptic, but when this claim was tested in controlled trials, it turned out that iodine (povidine-iodine, known as Betadine) was far more effective at disinfecting than chamomile. Similar claims, that chamomile can fight the inflammation of the mouth (stomatitis) in patients undergoing medical treatments, also failed to stand up in control trials.

Chamomile is widely used in the cosmetics industry and can be found in shampoos, hair rinses, and even as a vegetable hair dye. Perhaps the most controversial benefit claimed for chamomile is the reduction of heart health issues. A famous study published in the Lancet in 1993 found that high intakes of flavonoids, like the apigenin contained in chamomile, reduced heart health issues. Even the vapors of chamomile oil appear to have beneficial effects. Although many of the claims made by aromatherapists remain unproven, studies in animals have shown that inhalation of chamomile oil vapor can, at least partly, block the hormonal response to stress.

Dosage

Europeans have access to more dosage forms than s. In Germany, France, and England, chamomile is sold in rinses, gargles, ointments and alcohol extracts. Dried flowers can be added to bath water to help support skin complaints, but it would take several pounds of flowers to produce much of a result. A standard packet of chamomile tea contains about 2 grams of the powdered flowers. In Germany, government-required labeling, which allows manufacturers to claim that their chamomile-containing products are good for bloating, flatulence, and digestion issues, specifies that one tablespoon (2-3 grams) of flowers should be allowed to steep in hot water for 5-10 minutes before being passed through a tea strainer and drunk four times a day. External preparations are formulated to 3-10 percent herb.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been defined as "Alles zutraut" by the Germans, to mean "capable of anything" because of their perception that chamomile can assuage many health concerns. The active ingredients are present in the fundamental essential oils from the flowers of chamomile.

Research has verified that apigenin is the factor responsible for chamomile's anti-inflammatory, calming, mildly calmative and anti-spasmodic results. Other materials in the plant, along with Azulene, Chamazuline, Bisabolol and Matricine also have anti-inflammatory effects.

Taken internally, Chamomile supports duodenum lesions and other digestive issues including poor digestion, chronic inflammation of the stomach, indigestion, and gas. The flavonoid called apigenin has been regarded for its calmative virtues and ability to urge relaxation. Accordingly, chamomile is a popular herb used to help support and help fight anxiety, restiveness, stress and sleeplessness.

Chamomile flowers can be used to make mildly astringent infusions for tonic cleansers and conditioners that are suitable for dry and normal skins. Healing and gentle, it can be used in face packs and steamers to help problem skins of all types and ages. A cool compress of chamomile flowers simmered in milk and strained will support skin irritations, flaking patches, rashes and thread veins and help reduce wrinkles. Traditionally, chamomile can be used as a hair colorant which and lightens fair hair.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that chamomile will help people sleep and may help calm their nerves and stomachs. Modern neurochemical studies seem to have provided a rational basis for these claims, but allergy suffers should be very careful about how they use these products. The jury is still out on the tranquilizing effects of the chamomile components, but some of the research looks very promising, as does the evidence that apigenin is an antioxidant that might help avoid heart health issues. Serious toxicity is an extraordinarily rare event, and most people can use this herb safely.

Studies suggest that chamomile is effective in reinforcing a balanced nervous system and, consequently, regular sleep patterns. Chamomile is a safe herbal supplement that assists the body in relaxing making it an ideal bedtime drink! The Commission E monograph confirms that Chamomile provides effective support for a healthy digestion and the body's inherent acid/alkaline management resulting in optimal digestion.

Also called Hungarian chamomile or single chamomile, the bitter, spicy, and aromatic flower heads of the chamomile plant have been used to help support nervousness and irritability, digestive disorders, teething and irritable children, menstrual cramps, and back pains. They possess calmative, nervine, antispasmodic, anodyne, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, and carminative properties due to the presence of and essential oil (comprised of blue-colored azulene) and coumarin, flavonic heterosides, and tannic acid.

Chamomile is one of the most widely used herb teas, highly regarded for its digestive and calming properties. Chamomile, sometimes known as the "Band-Aid for the stomach," should be one of the first herbs considered for all digestive complaints. It is a good supportive for a number of health problems ranging from the common cough and cold to digestive disorders, diarrhea, menstrual cramps, nervousness and insomnia.

An excellent supportive for menstrual cramps is an infusion of chamomile flowers with a few slices of raw ginger. This same combination is good for all the above-mentioned health concerns. A strong infusion using one ounce to a pint of water is one of the most promising approaches to help support pains, including the pain of a slipped disc in the back, sciatica, and joint pain.

Chamomile tea, with its high assimilable calcium content, seems to be effective for irritable children and teething, colicky infants.

There are different varieties of chamomile, all with similar properties, but the stronger bitter German chamomile has the greater anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile also makes a good rinse for blond hair.

Chamomile is nothing if not versatile. The dried flowers of this plant, native to Europe and Asia, are used in teas, shampoos, and skin-care products. Most chamomile grown in North America is of the German variety - the same type studied by Commission E. There's also an English chamomile, also known as Roman chamomile, that the commission didn't approve for traditional health use. Chamomile is a relative of yarrow, another herb that won Commission E's seal of approval.

Potential Health Benefits

Commission E credits chamomile with calming digestive issues and infections. Used externally, it combats skin complaints, deodorizes, and promotes the rejuvenating of wounds. Chamomile tea is a traditional favorite for bringing on sleep and tranquilizing jangled nerves.

Scientific Evidence

Chamomile flowers contain antispasmodics and anti-inflammatory agents. The active chemicals in chamomile are concentrated in the essential oil, which is an appealing blue color. Researchers credit a molecule called bioabolol with anti-inflammatory qualities and another molecule, apigenin, for chamomile's ability to settle the stomach. Apigenin is also credited by researchers with having a calming effect, accounting for chamomile's popularity in supporting insomnia. Steven B. Karch, M.D., an rejuvenateth author, writes: "A famous study published in the Lancet in 1993 found that high intakes of flavonoids, like the apigenin contained in chamomile, reduced heart health issues. Even the vapors of chamomile oil appear to have beneficial effects. Studies in animals have shown that inhalation of chamomile vapor can, at least partly, block the hormonal response to stress."

To make chamomile tea, pour boiling water over 1 tablespoon of dried flowers, steep for 5-10 minutes, and strain. Drink the tea 3 to 4 times per day between-meals for upset stomach; the tea can also be used as a gargle for a sore throats. For poultices and rinses, use a 3-10 percent infusion. For a fragrant bath, add 50 grams per 2 1/2 gallons of water. Ointments and gels should contain 3-10 percent herb.

How to Brew

By Infusion: 1 tablespoon fresh flowers (or 2 teaspoons dried flowers) to 1 cup boiling water. Because its oils are particularly volatile, chamomile should only be steeped for 5 to 10 minutes.

Red Sails Soother

This is a soothing tea with a beautiful red color:

• 1 teaspoon dried chamomile flowers
• 1 teaspoon hibiscus flowers

Mix flowers. Infuse 1 teaspoon of mixture in 1 cup boiling water. Steep 5 to 8 minutes, or to taste.

Other Names: Camomile (French); Echte Kamille (German); camomilla (Italian); camomilla, manzanilla (Spanish).

Description: An annual herb with feathery leaves and attractive flower heads. The base of the flower head is characteristically hollow, while it is solid in Roman chamomile, Chamaemeleum nobile.

Origin: Eastern Europe and the Near East; widely cultivated (especially in Argentina) for traditional health use - the consumption is 5,000 tons per year.

Parts Used: Dried flower heads (Matricariae flos), essential oil distilled from the flowers (Matricariae aetheroleum) or liquid extracts.

Therapeutic Category: Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, carminative, antiseptic.

Uses and Properties: Used topically to help support inflammations of the skin and mucosa, and other skin disorders (including surgical wounds); internally against flatulent nervous dyspepsia (adults and children), stomach health, diarrhoea, travel sickness and mild anxiety. The volatile oil is inhaled to help support nasal catarrh, inflammation and irritation of the respiratory tract.

Preparation and Dosage: One or two teaspoons is taken by infusion (or 1 - 4 mL of a 1:1 liquid extract), three times per day. A product known as Kamillosan has over many years shown positive results in various skin disorders. Recommended dosage for douches is 3 - 10% infusion and for bathing, 50 g of herb per 10 litres of water. Creams and semisolid products should contain 3 - 10% of the crude herb.

Active Ingredients: Activity is ascribed to essential oil constituents (45% trans-beta-famesene), the flavonoids (apigenin-, luteolin- and patuletin-7-glycosides) and coumarins (umbelliferone, herniarin). The oil has cyclic sesquiterpenoids, predominantly alpha-bisabolol (up to 5% and chammulene (up to 15%). Chamazulene is an artefact formed from matricin during steam distillation and the oil a deep blue colour. Also present are polyacetylenes (cis-en-in-dicycloether) and polysaccharides.

Health Effects: In human studies, inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic and sedative effects are evident, which are related to the sesquiterpenes and flavonoids. Anti-inflammatory activities were noted in topical use.

Status: Traditional health; Pharm.; Comm. E+; ESCOP 6; WHO 1.



Although a chamomile is powder, distilled water, syrup, tincture, wine and extract of chamomile can be made from the flowers, they are rarely used except in an infusion with a varying dose. It is a popular supportive for windy colic using between 4 to 8 grams to a litre of water. With 3 to 4 grams for the same quantity of liquid, it can be used to help support vomiting. As an antifebrile supportive, 8 to 15 grams are used. Chamomile can help digestion, is good for lazy stomachs, dyspepsia, atonic diarrhea and particularly putrid fevers, continual and intermittent; it has been used with success in several cases of benign neurosis.

Other names for Matricaria recutita include German chamomile, garden chamomile, ground apple, low chamomile, Whig plant, manzanilla, and maythen. Roman or English chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is the plant most often used in herb gardens, but German chamomile is most often used in tea. It is the emblem of the sweetness of humility. Pronounced kamomeel, the word chamomile comes from the Greek kamai, meaning "on the ground," and melon, meaning "apple," for ground apple.

When bruised or walked on, chamomile produces a delightful, applelike odor. The ancient Egyptians believed that chamomile fought aging. Tea prepared from the flowers is thought to be a moderate sedative. It is also soothing for indigestion and good for flatulent colic, fever, and restlessness in children.
