What is chamomile extract

The plant: Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Chamomile is an annual herbaceous plant from the Asteraceae family, found throughout Europe and Western Asia. It is easily recognised by its characteristic flower heads: white ray florets surrounding a yellow centre, and its sweet, unmistakable fragrance.
The scientific name Matricaria derives from the Latin matrix (womb), a reference to the plant's traditional use in women's wellness. The name "chamomile" comes from the Greek chamaimelon, meaning "ground apple", because its scent is reminiscent of apples.
The flower heads are harvested during summer bloom, when the active compound content is at its peak.
How to use
Dosage: 5-10 drops in a glass of water or tea, twice daily.
Tip: Shake well before use. Regular use is recommended for best results.
