Chamomile Flowers (Organic, Egyptian)

There are two types of chamomile: German chamomile and Roman chamomile. Chamomile was described in ancient medical writings and was an important medicinal herb in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Chamomile has been prized for thousands of years for its therapeutic effects. In fact, chamomile was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian gods for its ability to calm the mind and comfort the senses. Hieroglyphic records show that Egyptian noblewomen drank chamomile and used preparations of crushed chamomile petals on their skin. Chamomile is used as a nurturing herbal tea ideal for easing stress, relieving headaches, and enhancing a peaceful night’s sleep. Chamomile is also known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties as well as acting as a digestive stimulant, muscle relaxant, and mild sedative. Chamomile tea may help prevent complications from diabetes, such as vision, nerve, and kidney damage, and stunt growth of certain cancer cells. Today, chamomile is primarily promoted for sleeplessness, anxiety, and gastrointestinal conditions such as upset stomach, gas, and diarrhea. It is also used topically for skin conditions and for mouth sores resulting from cancer treatment.
