Tea: Steep 1–2 tsp per cup in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Enjoy on its own or with lemon balm, lavender, peppermint, or licorice.

Nourishing infusion: Steep 15–20 g in 1L water for 4–8 hrs. A stronger brew for deep sleep, digestion, or nervous system recovery.

Topical: Use as an eye compress, scalp rinse, or soothing wash for irritated skin or minor wounds. Great for babies or sensitive skin.

Baths & sachets: Add a handful to warm baths or sleep sachets. Pairs well with calendula, oats, or lavender.

Culinary & craft: Use in syrup, jelly, shortbread, herbal honey, or skin salves. Loved in baby shampoo and garden lore alike.

Chamomile is a household herb for stress, belly, and bedtime. Customers mix it with lavender or lemon balm for tea, use it in infused oils and salves, or steep it for baby baths and eye relief. Used across generations for sleep and soothing, it’s also enjoyed in seasonal blends for colds and as a caffeine-free daily ritual. Crisp flower heads make the difference — look for golden-centred buds for best quality.

Not for use if allergic to ragweed/daisy family. Use caution in pregnancy (1 cup/day is typical limit). Avoid large doses with blood thinners or sedatives. Always strain well and store airtight.
