Matricaria recutita (also Matricaria chamomilla) is known as German or wild chamomile.
Chamomile is best known for its antiseptic, antispasmodic, relaxing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It calms nerves and helps treat chest colds, sore throats, abscesses, and minor burns. A couple of freshly used chamomile tea bags laid upon the eyes is very soothing, and can help greatly with conjunctivitis. Healing for the skin and mucous membranes, it can be a wonderful addition to a bath tea.
