What is Chamomile?

Chamomile usually means either Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile) or Chamaemelum nobile (Roman chamomile). These are flowering herbs with white petals and a yellow center, and they smell mild and sweet, like apples. The dried flowers are used to make herbal tea, calming tea blends, tinctures, and skincare products. In herbal teas, chamomile is often mixed with rosehip, lavender, and lemon balm.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Chamomile comes in different forms for various uses:

• Dried Chamomile Flowers: They are mainly for loose herbal teas, baths, compresses, and decorations.
• Chamomile Extract: This is a strong liquid from the flower heads. It is often used in health products, herbal mixes, and drinks.
• Chamomile Oil: This essential oil is made by steam distillation. It is used in aromatherapy, massage oils, skincare products.
• Chamomile Tea Bags: These are pre-packaged bags for tea brands and wellness shops.

Harvest Season

Chamomile is usually picked from May to August. The timing depends on how mature the flowers are and their oil content. The main countries that produce chamomile are Egypt, Albania, Poland, and Bulgaria. Prices vary based on flower quality, where it comes from, how it is dried (by sun or machines), and if it is certified organic. Whole flower heads that have a high yield of essential oil sell for higher prices, especially in high-end tea and extract markets.
