Chamomile

Natural Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the most beautiful and ancient natural herbs in the history of herbal medicine. It is extracted from the small white flowers of the Matricaria chamomilla plant with bright golden-yellow centers, resembling miniature sunflowers. Chamomile was known in ancient Pharaonic Egypt and was sacred to the ancient Egyptians, who offered it to the sun gods in recognition of its healing power. It was used in Greek, Roman, and Arab civilizations as a comprehensive natural remedy for nerves, the digestive system, and the skin. It contains the unique blue compound Chamazulene, as well as Apigenin and Bisabolol, which give it its unparalleled soothing and anti-inflammatory properties in the world of herbs.

⚡ Al-Mawaddah Tip: Do not boil chamomile in water — just place the flowers in boiling water, cover the cup immediately, and steep for 5-7 minutes to preserve the active chamazulene, which evaporates with high heat.
