Chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla)

The world's most beloved calming herb — sleep, anxiety, digestion, and skin in one gentle flower.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is one of the oldest and most widely used medicinal herbs on the planet, with over 4,000 years of recorded use across Egyptian, Greek, and Roman traditions. Its delicate daisy-like flowers contain powerful apigenin compounds that bind to the brain's GABA receptors, promoting genuine calm, restful sleep, and digestive ease.

Key Benefits
Sleep support & insomnia relief · Anxiety & stress reduction · Digestive soothing (IBS, bloating, cramps) · Anti-inflammatory · Skin healing (topical) · Immune support

How to Use
Steep 1–2 tsp dried chamomile flowers in 250ml hot water for 5–10 mins. Drink 1 cup 30 mins before bed for sleep, or after meals for digestion. Naturally sweet, apple-like flavour — delicious on its own. For skin: brew strong, cool, and apply with a cloth or add to a bath.

When to Expect Results
Relaxation & sleep: within 30–60 mins · Digestive comfort: a few days · Anxiety & stress: 1–3 weeks · Skin soothing (topical): 3–7 days of consistent use.

Who It’s For
• Insomnia & restless sleep
• Anxiety, stress & nervous tension
• Digestive discomfort, IBS & bloating
• Inflammatory skin conditions (eczema, rashes)
• Children & sensitive individuals (gentle & well-tolerated)

Who Should Avoid
• Ragweed or Asteraceae family allergy (daisy, chrysanthemum, marigold) — risk of allergic reaction
• On blood thinners (warfarin) — may enhance effects
• On sedatives or anti-anxiety medication — may enhance effects
• Pregnant — consult GP for therapeutic doses (occasional cup generally considered safe)

Storage
Store dried flowers in an airtight container away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. Best used within 12–18 months. Fresh flowers have a sweet apple aroma — faded scent indicates reduced potency.
