How To Use Chamomile Natural Remedy

The most popular way to use chamomile is in Tea form. To make chamomile tea, dry the heads of the flowers, petals, and all, and steep in very hot water for about 10 minutes.

Chamomile essential oil is also a popular way to use this herb. The smell is great as aromatherapy for stress and relaxation.

There are two types of Chamomile, Roman and German. Both varieties are used for these medicinal uses. However, Roman Chamomile has a little better fragrance, sometimes described as like fresh apples, and German Chamomile smells more like sweet straw!

Side Effects

Chamomile shouldn’t be used consistently over long periods of time. Consistent use over longer periods may lead to allergies to ragweed. If you are already allergic to ragweed, you should probably limit your use of chamomile.

Grow Chamomile – Herbal Tea Garden

You can grow your own Chamomile Herbal Tea garden if you live in climate zones 3-9. Chamomile is perennial which means that you can plant it once, and it will come back every spring for years! (Those are my favorite kinds of plants!)

Chamomile plants should be planted 8 inches apart in FULL SUN for best results.

You can grow it from seed or started plants like the ones I’ve linked here.

Of Course, seeds are always more economical, here are German Chamomile seeds and Roman Chamomile Seeds.
