Camomile (Flos Chamomillae vulgaris)

• True chamomile is an annual plant with an upright, mostly branched stem that grows in sparse locations. The two- to three-pinnate, narrow leaves grow singly at the ends of the branched shoot tips. The flower head consists of a crown of white ray florets and 400 to 500 yellow, tubular florets. The flowers have a pleasant aromatic odour when crushed.
• Effect: Camomile is used internally and externally. Thanks to its positive properties for wound healing, it is used for skin and mucous membrane inflammation, including the oral cavity and gums. Used as a tea, it provides rapid relief for stomach, intestinal and menstrual problems.
