Chamomile is a daisy-like flower that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. The name chamomile comes from the Greek words “chamai” (ground) and “melon” (apple), which refers to the plant’s low-growing habit and apple-like scent. Chamomile is a member of the Asteraceae family, which also includes daisies, sunflowers, and zinnias.
Chamomile is native to Europe and Asia, but it is now grown all over the world. The flowers are typically dried and used in teas, tinctures, and other herbal preparations. Chamomile has a number of health benefits, including reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep, and boosting the immune system.
