Abstract Chamomile, a member of the daisy family, has been used in traditional and alternative medicine for thousands of years. Its popularity can be attributed to its slow and minimal side effects. Chamomile, derived from the Greek word for "ground apple," was first used by the Ancient Egyptians in the 13th century to treat acute fever. It is also used in magic spells and has been used in Ayurveda.
Chamomile is a significant restorative spice native to southern and eastern Europe, with dried blossoms found in various countries. It is also used in traditional home-grown restorative products, such as natural teas and herbal remedies. Chamomile oil is prepared in traditional Persian medicine by boiling watery chamomile in sesame oil, and is used in spice brewing and beer production.
In Europe, chamomile is considered a "fix all" and is often used as a tea or tonic. It is also used in beauty care products and perfumery businesses, such as Ormenis multicaulis Braun-Blanq. and Moroccan chamomile. In Germany, it is known as "alleszutraut," meaning it is suitable for anything. Chamomile is generally considered safe for use and is part of some customary, Unani, and homeopathic therapeutic arrangements.
Chamomile, a yearly plant, is known for its terpenoids, including αpinene, which are known for their corrosive properties. These terpenoids, along with other essential compounds like αpinene, are essential for the plant's growth and can be used to treat various ailments, including skin irritation and narcotic use.
