Chamomile history begins in ancient Egypt, where it was first mentioned as a cure for fever, often called the “ague”. The crushed flowers were also rubbed on the skin as a cosmetic. The Egyptians used its essence as the main ingredient in embalming oil for preserving deceased pharaohs.

The name Chamomile comes from the Greek word meaning “ground apple”. Its history dates back at least to ancient Egypt, where Chamomile tea was prescribed as a cold remedy. The Romans enjoyed it as a beverage, as well as an incense.
