What is Chamomile?
With their bright, yellow centers and delicate white petals, chamomile flowers can be found gracing the regions of Europe, North Africa, Asia, and North America, dotting the landscape like little suns. The more popular German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is taller than its Roman cousin, reaching a height of 6-24 inches, and boasts smaller daisy-like blooms with pointier petals. Its name derives from the Greek word “chamaimelon,” which means “earth-apple,” thanks to its low-growing tendencies and apple-like aroma.
Chamomile has been used traditionally for thousands of years, impacting cultures from ancient Rome to Greece and Egypt. The Egyptians associated the blooms with their sun god thanks to their sun-like appearance, and the Anglo-Saxons believed chamomile was one of 9 sacred herbs given to humans from God. From herbal teas to topical creams and more, chamomile has long been—and continues to be—a staple of cultures around the world.
