Chamomile

Chamomile, also spelled camomile, is a daisy-like plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is commonly used to make herbal infusions, such as chamomile tea, which is made from the dried flowers and hot water. There are two primary types of chamomile: German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). German chamomile is an annual plant, while Roman chamomile is a low-growing perennial often used as ground cover. The plant is known for its potential health benefits, including improving sleep quality and its use in traditional and scientific medicine. Chamomile is generally considered safe when used in moderate amounts, although some individuals may experience rare allergic reactions. It is also used topically for skin conditions and as a mouth rinse for mouth sores. The plant is easy to grow, drought-tolerant, and can reseed itself year after year, making it a popular choice for home gardens. Chamomile is known for its pleasant fragrance and is attractive to pollinators like butterflies and bees. The word "chamomile" is derived from the Greek "khamaimēlon," meaning "earth apple," due to its apple-like scent. The plant is also a rich source of natural products and is in great demand in European countries.
