Chamomile 4:1

History:

There are a number of varieties of Chamomile, which is a hardy evergreen perennial of the sunflower family that grows in herb gardens worldwide for its aromatic and therapeutic qualities. It usually grows in temperate regions, and since the seeds require open soil to survive, it often grows near roads, around landfills and in cultivated fields as a weed. The Egyptians dedicated Chamomile to the sun and worshiped it above all other herbs, while Greek physicians prescribed it for fevers and female health. Dioscorides and Pliny recommended it for the head, liver, kidneys and bladder; and in the ancient Anglo-Saxon manuscript, the Lacnunga, "Maythen" is called one of the Nine Sacred Herbs.This beautiful, fragrant herb, which was a favorite aromatic strewing blossom, has been inhaled as snuff or smoked for pulmonary health and occasional sleeplessness. Europeans have been using it for nearly four centuries for the back, nerves and joints. Among the components of Chamomile are essential oils (chamazulene, alpha-bisabolol, azulene), beta-carotene, p-coumaric acid, tannic acid, a glucoside, coumarin, flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, apigenin, luteolin, apigetrin and apiin), scopoletin, triterpene hydrocarbons, thymol, boron, calcium, choline, essential fatty acids, folate, inositol, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sulfur, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamins A, C, E and K. The herb also includes the amino acid, tryptophan, which has been used for occasional sleep support since the 1600s. Chamomile is a valued cosmetic, as well as therapeutic herb and is indispensable in every home.
