Did You Know? (Background)
One of the most loved and most used herbs throughout history is the Chamomile flower. Its name
comes from the Greek “kamai melon” meaning “ground apple” due to its apple-like fragrance. Beatrix
Potter in 1902 wrote of a healing Chamomile tea given to the feverish Peter Rabbit by his mother. Early
Egyptians revered the herb for its effectiveness in curing the chills caused by malaria, or agues.
Greek physician Dioscorides (first century A.D.) and Roman naturalist Pliny (23 AD) both advocated
Chamomile baths and warm poultices for relief of liver, bladder and kidney disorders as well as
headaches. Chamomiles were also used to refresh the air in a time when bathing was infrequent at best.
Stems were strewn on the floor where they would release a pleasant fragrance when stepped on. The
yellow Chamomile flower has been used to flavor Manzanilla sherry in Spain, highlight blonde hair color,
and repel insects.
Many different types of Chamomile grow throughout Europe, Southern Asia and North Africa, but two
varieties are most sought after for their gentle healing and calming properties: German Chamomile, and
Roman or Common Chamomile.
Safety
Single flowers of the German Chamomile contain an alkali so potent that it can harm the tissues of the
stomach and bowels. Due to this fact, the British Pharmacopoeia advises use of the cultivated, twin
flowers
