Chamomile is a common name for many Daisy-like plants in the Asteraceae (sunflower) family. The 2 main species[1] are the well-known Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile) and the less-popular Chamaemelum nobile (Roman chamomile).
While there is not enough scientific evidence to suggest that consuming chamomile in food or drink positively impacts health, chamomile is valued for its traditional uses in a wide range of applications. Chamomile plants are native to many European countries.
