TC Roman Chamomile

Roman Chamomile grows close to the ground, reaching only up to a foot in height. Chamomile Roman has a long tradition in herbal applications and is popular as a tisane in Europe and in the Americas. It has gray-green leaves, flowers that resemble a daisy, and smells like apple. The mildly fragrant herb is an important ingredient in bedroom potpourris and dream pillows. The plant has been nicknamed the “plant’s physician” because it has positive effects on plants growing nearby. Ancient Romans used the oil for courage during war. While the most common use of chamomile is in teas, Roman Chamomile can also be found in face creams, drinks, hair dyes, shampoos, and perfumes.
