Chamomile Flowers Organic - 0.5lb
The word "Chamomile" as we know it now in English comes from the Greek Chamomaela or "Ground Apple". Pliny describes the plant as having the aroma of "apples or quinces". In Spain it has been known for centuries as Mantazilla or "Little Apple" and is used for flavoring the light sherry which bears its name.
Chamomile is also used to add a golden tint to hair and scent chamomile shampoo formulas. Chamomile is a popular botanical in natural products for skin and hair, including soaps, lotions, creams and shampoos. A rinse of strong tea adds highlights to blonde hair.
The Arabians traditionally used it in massage oils.
Chamomile is one of the best herbal sources of niacin, magnesium, and essential fatty acids.
Chamomile is second only to black tea as the best selling tea in the world. Its great flavor, aroma, and soothing effects and distinctly gentle properties have all combined to achieve its popularity. We use it often in tea and tincture combinations pertaining to any digestive, nervous or sleeping issues.
Our Beeyoutiful Families have used a chamomile infusion with lavender for pink eye soothing when other natural remedies such as breastmilk haven't been an option.
