German Chamomile ( Matricaria chamomile ) 1 L Container

🌼**German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla / recutita)** is a gentle, aromatic herb traditionally used in European and Middle Eastern herbal medicine for calming the nervous system, soothing digestion, and supporting overall relaxation. Historically, it has been valued for its mild anti-inflammatory and vulnerary properties, making it a versatile herb for body and mind.

**Primary actions** include nervine, anti-inflammatory, carminative, antispasmodic, and mild vulnerary effects. German chamomile is commonly used for digestive discomfort, menstrual cramps, mild anxiety, insomnia, and skin irritation. Its soothing nature supports both physical and emotional balance.

**Affinities** include the digestive tract, nervous system, skin, and reproductive system, with a strong relationship to tension, inflammation, and mild irritations.

**Energetically**, German chamomile is warming, calming, and gently relaxing. It softens tension, eases inflammation, and brings comfort to both the body and mind without sedating.

**Contraindications:** Generally very safe. Avoid in individuals with known allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family. Use caution with chamomile essential oil, as it is highly concentrated.

**Growth cycle:** German chamomile is an annual that thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It produces small, daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers from late spring through summer. Flowering tops are harvested at peak bloom for teas, tinctures, and topical preparations.
