Origins of Chamomile

Chamomile, also referred to as camomile or Matricaria chamomilla, is a flowering plant of the daisy family, and is native to Europe and Asia. The name chamomile is derived from the Greek word for “ground apple” because of the plant’s fruity aroma that is often compared to that of apples or quinces. The use of chamomile as a remedy dates as far back as ancient Egypt, where the herb was prescribed as a cure for fevers and digestive ailments. Today, chamomile is most commonly used as an herbal tea to promote restful sleep and alleviate upset stomachs.
