EGYPT. Chamomile (Matricatria recutita) Flower, Whole, Certified Organic Common names: Manzanilla, Pin Heads, Camamilla, Single Chamomile, True Chamomile, Matricaria, Babunah Family: Asteraceae Fragrant, golden flowers from Egypt. "German" Chamomile is arguably one of the most familiar and commonly used herbs. Chamomile has so many therapeutic benefits, including having a calming and peaceful effect when taken as a tea. Careful though, don't steep beyond 30 minutes unless you are prepared for a bitter flavor! Many people aren't aware the semi-fragrant flower actually has bitter properties, which makes sense since it is also settling and anti-inflammatory for the gastrointestinal system.
