Chamomile is a member of the daisy family and has been used throughout history by Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans for its healing benefits. The essential oils extracted from Chamomile are extremely powerful and can help soothe and heal the skin. The three main chemical compounds that give the most health benefits are chamazulene, matricin, and bisabolol.
Some benefits include:
