Studies have shown that German chamomile reduces inflammation, speeds wound healing, reduces muscle spasms, and serves as a mild sedative to help with sleep, can kill bacteria, fungus, and viruses.   It's known for its calming, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.
Chamomile is often used topically for its skin-healing properties, especially in treating eczema, wounds, inflammation, and allergies.
Chamomile is also used to soothe digestive issues, such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome.
The chamomile plant is very resilient and drought-tolerant.  The whole plant has a sweet, apple-like fragrance.
