Our Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is cultivated in the finest agricultural lands without pesticides. It contains a high concentration of essential oils and active compounds, ensuring exceptional freshness and export quality. We can export it as dried leaves, fresh leaves, or powder according to your needs.

Origin and Distribution:

Chamomile is native to the Mediterranean region and Asia Minor, but it is now cultivated worldwide — from Europe and Western Asia to North and South America and Australia.
The plant grows 30–70 cm tall with branched stems ending in small white-yellow flower heads, known for their pleasant apple-like aroma.

Chamomile in Modern Medicine:

In modern times, chamomile essential oil is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.
Externally, lotions, poultices, and baths made from chamomile help:

• Heal wounds and skin irritations

• Reduce inflammation and eye fatigue

• Treat mouth and gum infections

• Relieve itching, eczema, and varicose veins

Chamomile oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, and sedative properties. Chamomile flower ointments are effective for wounds, insect bites, and rashes.

Active Compounds in Chamomile:

Chamomile flowers contain chamazulenes, released during steam distillation, as well as compounds like:

• α-bisabolol

• bisabolol oxides

• matricine

• apigenin glycosides

These compounds are responsible for the plant’s anti-allergic, anti-itch, and antispasmodic effects.
Chamomile’s pharmacological activity is due to both hydrophilic compounds (flavonoids) and lipophilic compounds (essential oils and azulenes).

Chamomile Tea Around the World:

Chamomile has been valued since ancient times — in Egypt, it was seen as a gift from the gods; in China and Japan, dried chamomile flowers are used as herbal tea; and in Germany, chamomile tea and ointments are approved herbal remedies for skin allergies and inflammation.

Despite its popularity as a mild sleep aid and relaxant, German medicine uses chamomile primarily for skin care and digestive health.

Chamomile in Traditional Medicine

In Avicenna’s Canon (Ghanon):

Chamomile is described as warm and dry in nature. It helps reduce inflammation, clears the chest, and treats fevers and internal swellings.
