An herbaceous perennial, chamomile is native to the Atlantic coast of Europe and North Africa and has roots dating back to the ancient Egyptians. It was even used as a key beer flavoring element by English brewers during the Middle Ages. Try rubbing yourself with chamomile. Chamomile is used widely and in diverse applications. Two to three teaspoons of this herbal flower are added to 8 ounces of water and steeped for 5-10 minutes covered then served by many as a tasty tea. An herbal bath is prepared by adding 200-400ml of the tea infusion to a tub or container. Chamomile is used widely and in diverse applications, from capsules to teas.

In eye pillows, washes, or compresses it is generally combined with Eyebright and Lavender.
