what is Chamomile

Chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla Chamomile is a commonly used useful herb. It is a calming plant, and has sedative properties. It is in Aster/Daisy family. 

Identification: Chamomile has daisy-like flowers with a hollow, cone-shaped receptacle. Its yellow cone surrounded by 10 to 20 downward-curving white petals. You can distinguish the plant from similar flowers by the pattern in which the flowers grow, each flower on an independent stem. The most common way of identifying chamomile is by plucking a small amount of the blossom and crushing it in between your fingers.

Chamomile has a faintly fruity scent. Chamomile grows wild and it is also easy to cultivate in the garden. It thrives in open, sunny locations with well-drained soil. It does not tolerate excessive heat or dry conditions. Matricaria chamomilla is German chamomile. English chamomile has similar medicinal uses. The two plants can be distinguished by their leaves. German chamomile leaves are very thin and hairy while those of the English Chamomile are larger and thicker. The leaves of the German chamomile are also bipinnate; each blade can be divided again into smaller leaf sections. German chamomile stems are some what feathery while English Chamomile is hairless. Depending on the growing conditions chamomile can grow to between 2 feet (0.6m) and 3 feet (0.9m) tall.

Edible Use: I collect both flowers and leaves for medicinal use, but the flowers make the best tea. The flowers have an apple-like flavor, and the leaves have a grassy flavor. You can make a nice liqueur with dried chamomile flowers and vodka.

 Medicinal Use: Chamomile is most often taken as a tea but it may also be taken as a tincture or as a dried encapsulated herb. 

 Digestive Issues, Drink chamomile tea every day: Chamomile relaxes the muscles, including the digestive muscles. This makes it a good treatment for abdominal pain, indigestion, gastritis and bloating. It is also used it for Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

 Colic, Drink chamomile tea every day: Chamomile is known to be safe for use with babies. Adding a cup of tea to the baby’s bath at night soothes colic and helps with sleep. 

Muscle Aches, Drink chamomile tea every day: The antispasmodic action of chamomile relieves muscle tension. It soothes aching muscles and body aches.

 Insomnia,Drink chamomile tea every day: Chamomile is soothing and sedative. One cup of chamomile tea, taken at bedtime or during the night, helps with sleep. If more help is needed, use a tincture. 

whent to lose weight? Drink chamomile tea every day

If you're trying to lose weight, you might wish to substitute plain chamomile tea for other drinks including soda, alcoholic beverages, loaded coffee drinks, juices, and sports drinks. "You can follow a weight loss plan with the aid of chamomile tea, which is a terrific low-calorie beverage option." The fact that chamomile tea is delicious is an added plus. Just remember not to add a ton of sugar, as it would be counterproductive.

Eyewash, Conjunctivitis, and Pinkeye: For eye problems, try an eyewash made by dissolving 5 to 10 drops of Chamomile tincture in some boiled and cooled water or by making a strong chamomile tea. This mixture relieves eyestrain and treats infections. I often pair it with other herbs like Yarrow and Usnea.

 Asthma, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, and Congestion: Use a steam treatment for congestion. Add two teaspoons of chamomile flower petals to a pot of boiling water. Inhale the steam until the phlegm is released. Or add 2 to 3 drops of Chamomile Essential Oil to a vaporizer and use overnight. 

 Allergies and Eczema: For allergic conditions, including itchy skin and eczema, try Chamomile Essential Oil. The steam distillation process alters the chemical properties of the remedy, giving it antiallergenic properties. Dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil to use directly on the skin or inhale it.

 Harvesting: It is best to harvest chamomile during its peak blooming period.

 I prefer to pick chamomile in the late morning, after the dew has evaporated and before the real heat of the day. Select flowers that are fully open and pinch or clip the flower head off at the top of the stalk.

 Dry for future use. Warning: While it is uncommon, some people have an allergic reaction to chamomile. People with allergies to the Asteraceae family, including ragweed and chrysanthemums, should not take chamomile.
