Egyptian Chamomile Blossoms

Egyptian Chamomile is nature’s answer to pure relaxation. Harvested from the lush Nile River Valley, these golden blossoms release a naturally sweet, apple-like aroma that soothes the senses and quiets the mind. Known for centuries as a calming herbal infusion, each sip wraps you in warmth and serenity, making it perfect for bedtime or peaceful afternoon moments. Golden Calm in Every Cup. 

There are several varieties and countries of origin of Chamomila or Camomile – sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the flower heads – but the best quality comes from Egypt. The sandy loam and nutrients from the Nile create perfect growing conditions. Camomile flowers have a yellow center and white petals – they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, camomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent.

Chamomile is often sipped for relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness. Chamomile has also been noted as beneficial for soothing headaches and is a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those suffering from insomnia. In many circles Camomile is called nighty night tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties, which promote restfulness and drowsiness. It is also known to assist digestive disorders by settling the stomach and calming the nerves. The plant’s botanical name Matricaria, is derived from the Latin term for womb because it was once used as an herb to treat female troubles. Camomile is derived from ancient Greek and translates as “Ground Apple” in reference to the fruity aroma.

Like many teas and herbs camomile should be consumed without the addition of milk. However for a touch of sweetness or to try and make your own blend – honey, lime, lemon, cinnamon etc. can all be added! One of the fun things to do with a widely used consumer herb like camomile is to make your own blend. Try camomile with our Pure Peppermint Herbal Tea and call it “Camomint Soothing Sleeper” – camomile provides the ‘sleepy’ portion of your blend and the peppermint provides the soothing and digestive part (peppermint is known to soothe upset stomachs). Or what about Orange Dreams – combine camomile with orange peel. The possibilities are endless – the main thing is – EXPERIMENT and HAVE FUN WITH TEA!
