What Is Camomile?
Camomile, more often called chamomile, is a general name for two species of plants: German camomile, Matricaria recutita, and Roman or English camomile, Chamaemelum nobile. Both species are found in Asia, Europe and North America. While German camomile is the more common variety, both are used similarly as an herbal remedy for a variety of conditions due to their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and antiviral properties.
