Etymology

The word 'chamomile' comes from the Greek word 'chamaimelon', which means 'earth apple'. This name was derived from the plant's apple-like scent, which becomes evident when the flowers are crushed. Historically, chamomile has been used since ancient times, with evidence of its use in Egyptian, Roman, and Greek cultures for medicinal purposes. In Egypt, it was revered as a sacred herb and was often offered to the sun god Ra. The use of chamomile for calming and healing purposes spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, where it was commonly included in herbal remedies. Today, chamomile remains a popular herbal tea, valued for its calming effects and widespread availability, being cultivated in various parts of the world.
