The name Chamomile comes form the Greek word meaning "ground apple." Its history dates back at least to ancient Egypt, where Chamomile tea was prescribed as a cold remedy. The Romans enjoyed it as a beverage, as well as an incense. Ironically, the name "Roman Chamomile" by which it is sometimes known, does not stem from this time. It rather comes from an arbitrary naming of the herb in the 19th Century by a botanist who happened to find some growing in the Roman Colisseum.
Chamomile is one of the oldest garden herbs, whose reputation as a medicinal plant shows little signs of abatement.
There are two plants known as chamomile: the more popular German chamomile (Matricaria recutita & this product) and Roman, or English, chamomile (Chamaemelum or anthemis nobile ). Although they belong to different species, they are used in the same way.
The use of chamomile dates back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks.
