Origin and History:
Chamomile’s Spanish name is manzanilla (meaning little apple) referring to the apple-like scent of the flower.
Chamomile originated in Europe and West Asia and since ancient times, it has been highly valued by the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks for its medicinal properties.
Several cultures have a ritual of bathing newborn babies for the first time in chamomile water (a dilute tea form of the herb). This tradition is a therapeutic medicinal practice. Many old world religions performed blessings in flower water. In medieval times, chamomile was scattered across the floors to revitalize the air indoors. It was an essential plant in monastery gardens; planted for pleasure and medicinal uses.
Egyptians used the herb for fevers, heat strokes, and to “cure” malaria. Chamomile was also utilized during the mummifying process of the dead. Hippocrates, Pliny, Dioscorides, and Galen wrote of the many uses of this herb hundreds of years ago. The German name for Chamomile is alles zutraut (capable of anything). Chamomile has received the nickname the “plant’s physician” because of its ability to have positive effects on surrounding plants that are growing nearby. It is also a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
In the “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”, Peter’s mom gives him chamomile tea after he finally gets back home (obviously stressed and exhausted) from barely escaping McGregor’s garden alive with a very over-stuffed, upset tummy.
Chamomile flowers can be interchanged with mimosa blossoms in herbal recipes. The chamomile plant is a nutrient accumulator; it draws specific nutrients (such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus) from the soil and concentrates them in the plant its self. During the Civil War, chamomile was a medicinal herb used for treating soldiers for upset stomachs, diarrhea, gout, fevers, and flu symptoms. On the Santa Fe Trail (1821-1880), chamomile was used as a carminative in flatulent colic, to treat headaches, and to treat mild fevers.
