CHAMOMILE – Chamomilla recutita
The plant is indigenous to northern Europe and grows wild in central European countries. It is especially abundant in eastern Europe and is cultivated in many countries including western Asia, the Mediterranean region of northern Africa and the United States. The name Chamomile is derived from the Greek word “chamai” meaning “on the ground” and “melo” meaning “apple” from the apple-like scent. The Latin name, Matricaria recutita, means “beloved mother medicine”, because it was widely used in women’s hygiene. In ancient Egypt the plant was dedicated to the god of the sun.
