Roman Chamomille is a perennial with beautifully smelling daisy-like flowers. Native of Western Europe, the common name comes from the Greek words "chamai" (on the ground) and "melon" (apple), referring to the smell of fresh flowers. The botanical name Anthemis nobilis also is derived from the Greek word anthos (flower) and the Latin one nobilis (noble), likely referring to its healing virtues. Since ancient times, roman chamomile flowers were used internally for digestive disorders and externally to sooth skin irritations. The Egyptians used it to treat fevers and as a sign of dedication to the Gods. The Romans used it to treat intestinal and rheumatic disorders. Chamomile tea is indeed an old remedy for calming nervousness, nausea, vomiting and regulating menstruation.
