The use of chamomile as an herbal medication can be traced back to ancient Greece and Egypt. This plant was used by priests as a means to rejuvenate the hair and skin. It was also used as an anti-fever medication.
For years, we have used the fragrant flowers of chamomile to cure ailments like stomachache; insomnia anxiety; and skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, chickenpox, and rashes.
Chamaemelum nobile (formerly Anthemis nobilis) or chamomile is native to Africa, Europe, and Asia. This low-growing perennial plant from the daisy family has been used to create teas to treat a number of health problems. The active ingredient found in chamomile is known as bisabolol, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-microbial properties.
Chamomile is available as an essential oil, which can be used for scalp massage to stimulate hair growth. Its extracts can also be added to any shampoo and conditioner to help retain the hair’s moisture.
