Description: Certified Organic Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Flower
Use: Traditionally used as as a safe and gentle sedative, gastrointestinal tonic, anti-spasmodic, analgesic, and antiseptic folk remedy. This plant makes a wonderfully soothing tea.
Clinical Evidence: The Commission E approved the internal use of chamomile for gastrointestinal spasms and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and approved its external use for skin and mucous membrane inflammations, as well as bacterial skin diseases, including those of the oral cavity and gums. It is also approved for inflammations and irritations of the respiratory tract (inhalations) and ano-genital inflammation (baths and irrigation). The British Herbal Compendium lists chamomile internally for spasms or inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, peptic ulcer, and mild sleep disorders, and its external use for inflammations and irritations of skin and mucosa in any part of the body and for eczema (Bradley, 1992). The German Standard License for chamomile tea indicates its use for gastrointestinal complaints and irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and of the upper respiratory tract (Wichtl and Bisset, 1994).
