Product Abstract

• A small, stocky, perennial herb, up to 25 cm high, with a much branched hairy stem, half spreading or creeping. It has feathery pinnate leaves, daisy-like white flowers which are larger than those of the German Chamomile. The whole plant has an apple like scent. This herb has had a medical reputation in Europe and especially in the Mediterranean region for over 2,000 years and it is still in widespread use. The botanical name derives from the Greek Anthemis, meaning little flower. One variety of the Anthemis has been found at ancient Egyptian sites dating from the predynastic period. In early Scandinavian culture, Chamomile was associated with the sun god and Chamomile appeared in all of the European herbals. It was employed by the Egyptians and the Moors and it was of the Saxons nine sacred herbs, which they called “Maythen”. It was also held to be the “plant’s physician” since it promoted the health of plants nearby.
