German Chamomile
(Marticaria
chamomilla L.)
The medicinal properties of Chamomile have been known since antiquity, with references dating back to Hippocrates, the father of medicine. The ancient Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god, who was a healer of infectious diseases. Its Greek name means "apple of the earth," and Christians dedicated it to Saint George because it blooms around the time of his feast day.
Cook
Chamomile tea is one of the world's most well-known and widely used infusions, but we can also use it in various desserts such as cookies, cupcakes, sorbets, ice cream, smoothies, and creams. The infusion can be combined with anise seeds, lemon verbena, lemon balm, honey, lemon, orange peel, and much more to create a delicious beverage.
Traditional characteristics
Traditionally, chamomile is used as a beverage to treat anxiety, insomnia, gastrointestinal infections, bloating, inflammation, and diarrhea. It helps with gynecological problems, headaches, and colds, and strengthens the immune system. When used as a compress and cooled, the infusion can soothe skin conditions such as acne, irritations, and fungal infections. For puffy eyes, ice cubes can be made from the infusion and placed on closed eyelids.
