Description
Chamomile (Asteraceae family) plants have white daisy like flowers and scent reminiscent of apples or pineapple. The entire above ground portion of the plant can be used. The flowers are edible and can be used raw to top salads. More often the flowers are dried and used to make tea to aid in digestion. In Mexico, the Tzeltal Maya make a chamomile tea containing an orange and a lime leaf to lift the mood.
Chamomile was used in ancient Egypt and was given as an offering to their gods.
Cosmetically, Chamomile has also been used as a rinse for accentuating highlights and lightening blonde hair. Topically, this herb has an emollient effect and is softening and soothing to the skin. It has also been used as a perfume and flavoring agent for liqueurs such as Benedictine and Vermouth.
