Chamomile is a popular medicinal herb recognized for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. This plant features small white flowers with a yellow center and resembles a daisy. Chamomile primarily comes in two types: German chamomile and Roman chamomile, both of which have similar medicinal properties.
Chamomile is used for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in treating insomnia, stress, heartburn, and skin inflammations. It is also commonly used as a tea to alleviate pain and improve sleep.
This plant easily grows in gardens and even in pots, especially in well-drained soils and in full sunlight. The flowers usually bloom in early summer and can be harvested fresh or dried for use in preparing teas and other medicinal products.
