Chamaemelum nobile
Roman Chamomile has had a medical reputation in Europe, and especially in the Mediterranean region, for over 2,000 years, and is still in widespread use. The name chamomile, in Greek chamaimelon, means "earth apple", and this describes well Roman Chamomile's earthy, yet sweet and slightly tart scent. It was employed by the ancient Egyptians and the Moors, and it was one of the Saxon's nine sacred herbs.*
Roman Chamomile contains chamazulene and cuminic acid, which make it antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal as well as pain relieving. Other monoterpenes such as camphene, myrcene, and pinene, plus sesquiterpenes B-caryophyllene and sabinene, increase the analgesic effects.*
