Overview - Everybody remembers the childhood story of Peter Rabbit. After his harrowing experience in the farmer's garden, Peter is comforted by his mother making him a warm cup of Chamomile tea. The significance of the genus name Matricaria, which is derived from the latin Matrix, meaning Mother or Womb, indicates its use since antiquity for problems of the female reproductive system as well as the calming and soothing affect only a mother can have. Herbalists have used this plant to support digestion, promote the easing of colic and other complaints resulting from nervous excitability or tension and other situations where a gentle relaxant is called for.
Parts Used - Flowers
Preparations – Teas, tinctures, baths, creams and infusions.
Medicinal - Chamomile can act gently on many systems in the body due to its ability to modulate a healthy inflammatory response in the body and provide a sense of calm for the nervous system. It can be used for occasional irritation in the digestive system to calm and sooth. It is also beneficial for those with restlessness, irritability and sensitivity.
Active Constituents - Chamomile has many volatile oils among them; proazulenes, bisabolol, farnesine, pinene, anthemal, spiroether, and angelic acid. It also contains alpha bisabolol, matricin, apigenin, sesquiterpine lactones, flavonoids (apigenin, quercitin, patuletin, and luteolin), cyanogenic glycosides, bitter glycosides, coumarins, valerianic acids and tannins.

This chamomile was very fragrant, the buds weren't crushed. They were whole and fluffy, some petals remained on the buds. Mixed with other herbs I have makes this a relaxing anytime tisane component.

Everything I have ordered from Mountain Maus has been outstanding quality and arrives in a timely manner and this order was exactly the same standard. I no longer order herbs from anyone else.

I absolutely love these chamomile flowers! I infuse them into organic sunflower oil to make botanical salves that are amazing for your skin!

These are the perfect little dried flower heads! So far I've made salves, tea, and kombucha with them & I still have plenty of blossoms left. Shipping was fast too!

The herbs from Mountain Maus are exquisite. Its more expensive to ship them to Alaska but it is worth it for the quality of herbs. The chamomile was very fresh and fragrant and makes a perfect cup of tea.

Highly Recommend MountainMaus for dried herbs of all kinds. Fresh and Potent. Great smell and taste.
I use various dried plants: mostly for herbal benefits, and delicious teas, food, spice, but also to help starting, watering & mulching seedlings, deodorize & prevent insects in clothes; and more.
Can't grow all of my own. Thankyou MountainMaus.
