German chamomile flowers are used for calming the nervous system, aiding digestion, and soothing skin. They can be consumed as an herbal tea, used in cooking for flavoring, or applied topically in various preparations like compresses and ointments for skin irritation.  

Culinary and beverage uses

  • Chamomile tea: 

    The most common use, made by steeping dried flowers in hot water for a calming effect. It can also be added to other herbal tea blends. 

  • Flavoring: 

    Use fresh or dried flowers to flavor baked goods, jams, candies, ice cream, and even savory dishes like risotto or fish salad. 

  • Garnish: 

    Fresh flowers can be used as an edible and decorative garnish for both sweet and savory plates. 

Medicinal and therapeutic uses

  • Sleep aid: 

    Chamomile's sedative properties are thought to help with insomnia, and it may also reduce symptoms of anxiety. 

  • Digestive aid: 

    It can help relax digestive muscles, relieve indigestion, gas, bloating, and nausea. 

  • Skin conditions: 

    Topical applications of chamomile can soothe skin irritation, rashes (like eczema), minor burns, and wounds. It's also used in cosmetics and eye/mouth washes. 

  • Anti-inflammatory: 

    The blue chamomile oil contains compounds like chamazulene, which provide potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-bacterial benefits. 

Other uses

  • Aromatherapy: The flowers can be added to potpourris, sachets for bath water, or used in aromatherapy blends for their pleasant aroma. 

  • Cosmetics: The essential oil and extracts are used in various cosmetic products. 

  • Crafts: Dried chamomile flowers are suitable for dried arrangements and crafts. 

Important considerations

  • Allergies: 

    People with allergies to plants in the daisy family, such as ragweed, may have an allergic reaction to chamomile.
