Matricaria chamomilla, commonly known as German chamomile, is an annual herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family, native to Europe and western Asia. It grows up to 24 inches tall, featuring white daisy-like flowers with a scent reminiscent of apples or pineapple. Also known in commerce as Matricaria recutita, it is distinguished from the similar Chamaemelum nobile, a perennial groundcover. Our organic chamomile flowers are harvested at peak freshness, ideal for infusions, teas, and use in hair and skin care recipes.
Chamomile is widely recognized for promoting relaxation and supporting digestive health. It is gentle enough for use in teas to soothe the stomach and is often incorporated into lotions and hair products for its calming and softening effects on the skin. Available as dried flowers, chamomile retains its quality when stored properly, making it perfect for teas, baths, and cosmetic applications.
The powder is milled from whole Matricaria chamomillia blossoms. Chamomile is featured in many skin and hair care recipes. Often found in henna mixtures, it may lighten certain hair colors. Chamomile flowers have been generally used for their beneficial properties and make pleasant tea when served after dinner. German chamomile flower powder makes a lovely addition to herbal lotions and can also be included in baking recipes.
