When I think of Chamomile, I think of the sun. The ancient Egyptians are said to have dedicated this little flower to Ra, honoring its golden center and the way it opens its white petals toward the light. Centuries later, the Anglo-Saxons counted it among their nine sacred herbs, and Culpeper placed it under the rulership of the Sun. Even the old gardeners called Chamomile the plant’s physician, believing that a sickly plant set beside it would slowly return to health.
This humble herb carries a gentleness that is easy to underestimate. Chamomile has long been a remedy for the overwrought: the restless child, the frayed nerves at the end of a long day, the belly that holds our worry. It softens tension and settles the mind, inviting the body back toward ease and rest. It is no wonder that Peter Rabbit’s mother tucked him into bed with a cup of chamomile tea.
For the skin, Chamomile is soothing and cooling. It calms redness and irritation, comforts sensitive or reactive skin, and offers tenderness wherever the body feels inflamed or overworked. A mist across the face, a cool cloth over tired eyes, or a spritz on the pillow before sleep lets this sweet, apple-scented flower do its quiet work.
A floral water, or hydrosol, is the fragrant water gathered when flowers are gently distilled. It holds tiny particles of the plant’s volatile oils, carrying its scent and medicine in a soft, gentle form.
Each bottle is distilled in small batches by hand, about four hours for every pint, from chamomile grown and gathered with care.
3.5 oz
