Chamomile is derived from the Greek khamai melon or “ground apple.” The best chamomile is said to come from Egypt. It has a long history of being used as a tisane, often to induce sleepiness. Chamomile’s history is steeped in lore. The ancient Egyptians held chamomile in such high regard they dedicated it to their highest deity and considered it “the only remedy for all agues (fevers).” It is perfect when winding down before sleep, inducing a relaxed and restful state. A calming cup of chamomile before bed is said to prevent nightmares.
