Chamomile is a low-growing relative of the sunflower native to Eastern Europe and now found around the world. It is especially abundant in Hungary, Croatia, and Serbia, although chamomile grown in Egypt has an exceptionally high content of essential oils.
Chamomile was used by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Its name derives from the Greek chamos (ground) and melos (apple), referring to its creeping habit and the apple scent of fresh blossoms. It is commonly steeped in hot water to make chamomile teas.

Simply Medicinal Chamomile Tea
In a teapot place 1 teaspoon of chamomile flowers per cup of water. Boil the water, than let it cool slightly (using boiling water will cause the various therapeutic compounds in chamomile to evaporate). For best results, steep the tea less than 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy.
For Gastric Complaints
- 1 ounce chamomile
- 2/3 ounce peppermint
- 1 ounce caraway seeds
- 2/3 ounce angelica
Use 1 teaspoon of the mixture per cup of hot water. Steep this mixture 10 minutes and strain. This tea soothes the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates digestive activity, making it useful for stomachaches or a too-full feeling.
Caution Never give an infant or young child a medicinal tea with peppermint in it. The menthol in the peppermint could have a reverse reaction.
For cystitis
- 1 ounce chamomile
- 1 ounce yarrow
- 1 ounce sage
Use 1 teaspoon of this mixture per cup of hot water. Steep this mixture 5 minutes and strain. The anti-inflammatory components of this tea relieve bladder pain and urinary discomfort. Drink as much tea as you wish daily until the inflammation has healed.
