German Chamomile ( Matricaria Chamomile ) 1 L Container
**German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)**
German Chamomile has been cherished since antiquity as a gentle yet profound healer. Known as the “plant’s physician” because of its ability to restore balance in gardens, it has long served the same role in human health—soothing tension, easing digestive upsets, calming fevers, and quieting troubled hearts.
Herbally, Chamomile is a **relaxant nervine, anti-inflammatory, carminative, and mild bitter**. It works through the **nervous system, digestion, and blood**, helping to ease **spasms, bloating, and nervous tension**. Its volatile oils and flavonoids give it a powerful ability to calm both the **gut and the mind**, showing how seamlessly it weaves the emotional and physical together.
Energetically, Chamomile is aligned with **Water**, the element of flow, adaptability, and emotional depth. Its medicine helps the body “flow again” when tightness, tension, or heat cause constriction. By softening spasms and cooling inflamed tissues, it restores the natural rhythm of the body’s waters—be it circulation, digestion, or emotional flow.
Astrologically, German Chamomile reflects the **Moon in Leo**. The **Moon** rules our emotions, inner child, and cycles of rest and renewal, while **Leo** rules the **heart, solar plexus, and self-expression**. Chamomile’s medicine softens fiery excess in Leo’s domain—anger, agitation, or an overheated heart—and helps the Moon shine more gently through emotional calm and nurturance. It connects head and belly, heart and gut, cooling the fiery solar center while restoring watery lunar balance.
On a deeper level, Chamomile soothes the **emotional body**. It is medicine for children and the inner child alike, easing worry, restlessness, irritability, and tears. In this way it embodies **Leo’s protective, warm-hearted nature** while infusing it with the **Moon’s softness and nurturing waters**. It teaches that true strength shines not through tension or force, but through the calm radiance of a heart at peace.
Chamomile’s small, white, daisy-like flowers—harvested at their peak—hold within them this balance of **sun and moon, fire and water**, making it a remedy that cools, calms, and restores harmony on every level.
⚠ **Cautions:** Generally safe and gentle. Avoid if allergic to plants in the daisy family.
