Stash buys chamomile from
Egypt where the climate and farming expertise make this chamomile the best
in the world. Egyptian Chamomile has the largest, brightest flowers with
the most fragrance and flavor. Stash Chamomile brews a beautiful golden
cup with a delicate, classic apple-like flavor and fragrance. It is a
soothing drink that is good anytime of the day, but especially relaxing in
the evening.
TIP: When brewing chamomile
be sure to add a little extra to your infuser as it is very fluffy and
light. However, remember to never fill an infuser more than half full, as
the chamomile needs room to infuse properly. All Stash teas offered here are
kosher certified.
In the tale of Peter Rabbit, Peter
eats himself sick in Mr. McGregor's garden. When he gets home, his mother
gives him chamomile tea to calm his stomach and sooth his nerves.
Chamomile is known as both a
pretty flower and an ancient healer. The word "chamomile" is derived from
the Greek "chamos" (ground) and "melos" (apple), referring to chamomile's
low growth habit and apple scented blossoms. The daisy-like flowers of the
Chamomile plant reminded the ancient Egyptians of the sun, calling it
"Herb of the Sun". The Germans have used chamomile for centuries for its
medicinal properties. In fact, chamomile is so popular in Germany it is
called "alles zutraut" (capable of anything).
Extensive research over the past
20 years has confirmed many of the traditional uses for the plant
including: as an anti-spasmodic - to aid digestive disorders, prevent
ulcers and calm stomach cramps; as a tranquilizer - to calm the central
nervous system and relax the body; as an anti-bacterial - to heal skin
irritations and diseases; and as an anti-inflammatory - to relieve aches
and pains, particularly arthritis pains.
There are two species of Chamomile
- the
German or Hungarian variety and the Roman or English variety.
German Chamomile is an annual that reaches 3 feet and is the
variety that is most prevalent in the United States. Roman Chamomile is a
perennial ground cover less than 9 inches tall. Both chamomile varieties
have downy stems, feathery leaves and daisy-like flowers with yellow
centers and white petals. Roman Chamomile is often used as a ground cover
on garden paths. Walking on it releases chamomile's lovely apple fragrance
and it is actually good for the plant.
Today chamomile is one of the
world's best selling herbs. Chamomile is a very popular herbal tea and it
is also used in perfumes, soaps, bath oils, skin care products, and in
shampoos to add luster to blonde hair.
