Chamomile was Mother Rabbit’s remedy for poor Peter Rabbit when he got in Farmer McGregor’s garden. She used it to soothe Peter’s stomach and shattered nerves. This reference to Chamomile's use doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the many uses of this mild and famous herb throughout history.

The whole flowers are used alone or in combination with other herbs and spices to make tea blends, bath bags or tinctures.

Known for its soothing properties, it is a great tea to have on hand for the whole family.

Product Description

The word "Chamomile" as we know it now in English comes from the Greek Chamomaela or "Ground Apple". Pliny describes the plant as having the aroma of "apples or quinces". In Spain it has been known for centuries as Mantazilla or "Little Apple" and is used for flavoring the light sherry which bears its name.

Chamomile is also used to add a golden tint to hair and scent chamomile shampoo formulas. Chamomile is a popular botanical in natural products for skin and hair, including soaps, lotions, creams and shampoos. A rinse of strong tea adds highlights to blonde hair.

The Arabians traditionally used it in massage oils.

Chamomile is one of the best herbal sources of niacin, magnesium, and essential fatty acids.

Chamomile is second only to black tea as the best selling tea in the world. Its great flavor, aroma, and soothing effects and distinctly gentle properties have all combined to achieve its popularity. We use it often in tea and tincture combinations pertaining to any digestive, nervous or sleeping issues.

Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies. Adding a few handfuls to a nice warm bath is pure enjoyment as well as being an incredibly soothing and healing benefit to irritated skin. Historically, mothers used to make warm baths with Chamomile flowers infused in the warm water to sooth and calm their children during Chicken Pox.

Our Beeyoutiful Families have used a chamomile infusion with lavender for pink eye soothing when other natural remedies such as breastmilk haven't been an option.
