CHAMOMILE
During Tudor times, poets penned burning verses while reclining on Chamomile perfumed turf. Also known as Roman Chamomile, this oil has been used for centuries in traditional European healthcare to treat nervous conditions.
Botanists often refer to Chamomile as the 'plant's physician' as it seems to promote the health of its neighbouring herbaceous companions. Chamomile is steam distilled from the flower of Anthemis nobilis.
