Discover the powerful healing benefits of German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita). Also known as Mayweed and Scented Mayweed, this well-known herbal plant is a common remedy in Western medicine for various health conditions. It plays a significant role in easing digestive disorders, relieving nervous tension and irritability, while also treating skin problems when applied externally. Enjoy the relaxing effects from brewing an infusion of the flowers, useful in alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, peptic ulcers and hiatus hernia. Its flowers, harvested when fully open and dried, contain volatile oils with anti-allergenic properties, ideal for alleviating symptoms of asthma and hay fever. The plant's healing properties are also utilized in homeopathic remedies, especially beneficial for teething children and individuals undergoing emotional stress. More than a medicinal herb, German Camomile is often used in cosmetics, in perfumery and as a hair shampoo especially for those with fair hair. Its entire plant is also known for its insect repellent quality. Plants will typically remain in the garden from year to year by self-seeding. Explore the wonders of this multifaceted plant and witness its tangible benefits to health and well-being.
