“This versatile herb can assist with nervous headaches and sleeplessness and is especially good for children as it calms without making you drowsy. It is also used to treat colic in babies.”

The A-Z of Herbs continues and we will be discussing a herb that was known in Ancient Egypt as a “Sacred Gift from Ra, the Sun God” and honoured above all other herbs.  They also used it as a main herb in embalming oil.

This Sacred Herb is Chamomile and is a flowering plant related to the daisy.  It is known by other names such as, Anthemis nobilis or Roman Chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla or German Chamomile, True Chamomile, Hungarian Chamomile.

Chamomile has been used medicinally and cosmetically in different cultures since before 1550 BC.  The Ancient Greeks gave Chamomile its name which came from 2 words “chamos” and melos” meaning ground apple, as it is a low growing plant with the aroma of apples.  During the Middle Ages it was known by the Anglo Saxons as

“Maythen” and was listed by them as one of the Nine Sacred Herbs. It was used also during this time for love lotions and liquors due to its relaxing and sedative qualities.

nterestingly, Chamomile was also used as “a doctor for the other plants” and was planted nearby sick and weak plants to help them to grow and develop.

Chamomile is often used by herbalists in helping relieve every state of tension and for easing spasm in all smooth muscles helping to alleviate nervous dyspepsia and nervous bowel, upset stomach including nausea, bloating, cramps etc. It also has therapeutic properties which help to heal and protect stomach and duodenal ulcers.

Chamomile is one of my major herbs of choice for Irritable Bowel Syndrome!

This versatile herb can assist with nervous headaches and sleeplessness and is especially good for children as it calms without making you drowsy.  It is also used to treat olic in babies.

This herb can also be used to ease period pain and menopausal tension.  It assists in fever management and is used as an inhalation for post nasal drip and or phlegm conditions and allergic reactions of the airways such as hayfever and sinus.

Chamomile can come in the form of extracts, capsules, tea, tinctures and eye drops.  Warm Chamomile Tea bags placed over the eyes can relieve the symptoms of sore, itchy eyes and conjunctivitis. Chamomile can be applied topically as a poultice to assist in wound healing.
