Chamomile
Chamomile is one of the oldest favourites amongst garden herbs and its reputation as a medicinal plant shows little signs of abatement.
The fresh plant is strongly and agreeably aromatic, with a distinct scent of apples – something not lost on the Greeks who named it 'ground-apple' - kamai (on the ground) and melon (an apple) - the origin of the name Chamomile.
There are many reputed benefits of drinking chamomile. It is believed to strengthen the immune system, aid digestion, calm nerves and ease stomach pains. As an evening drink, it helps ensure a good night's sleep.
