BOTANICAL NAME Matricaria chamomilla L. Plant Family: Asteraceae SYNONYMS Chamomilla recutita , Matricaria recutita, Matricaria suaveolens. Note: Chamaemelum nobile or Anthemis nobilis is also commonly known as chamomile, however it is a different plant than Matricaria chamomilla L. OVERVIEW Chamomile is a gentle herb known throughout most of the world which has been used continually for many centuries. It is often ingested as a tea to calm the nervous system and the digestive tract, and is mild enough to be administered to babies with colic. Chamomile is soothing to irritated skin and membranes, and is often found in lotions and hair products. Other studies illuminate this plant's potential to assist in healing wounds and soothing gastrointestinal conditions. BOTANY Members of the Asteraceae family, these aromatic herbaceous plants have white daisy like flowers and scent reminiscent of apples or pineapple. In fact, the common name "chamomile" is derived from the Greek word kamai which translates to "on the ground" and melon which means apple. Accordingly, the Spanish name Manzanilla, means "little apple."5 M. chamomilla is an annual that can grow up to 24 inches whereas the similar C. nobile is a perennial low growing groundcover growing no more than 10 inches high.6,7 M. chamomilla is native to Europe and western Asia. CULTIVATION AND HARVESTING This herb prefers full sun, and light, sandy, and moist soil. It is often found along roadsides and can become rather weedy. M. chamomilla needs a fair amount of water and a brief cool season6 and thus doesn't grow well in tropical or arid environments. Thus, most chamomile is currently cultivated in areas which provide these conditions such as Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.

Best for a sore throat!
We first got introduced to Kamillosan products on our trip to Germany and since then I swear by them! When I got a terrible cold on vacation in Berlin with a fever and everything this worked right away and my cold was almost gone in 2 days! Nothing works better for a sore throat than Kamillosan!

This is a lifesaver for mouth sores from chemo
I was told about this by my dentist. I used it throughout chemo and it made the mouth sores go away quickly. Now, if I get a sore in my mouth, I just gargle with a small amount and it goes away practically the next day!

European product
This product is very well known in Europe and I love it! It has excellent healing properties. I dabbed it on my sore gums with a cotton swab several times a day after a dentist visit. It doesn't take the pain, but it promotes fast healing.

Great for oral sores from radiation
I just completed 35 rounds of radiation to my tongue. When the sores started to occur, I gargled with this product. Healed the sores very quickly. My oncologist asked what I was using to let his other patients know

Great for gum/teeth problems
This helped me enormously last time when I had extreme pain in my teeth. Dentist made me wait 2 weeks, what, I have never waited this long, but I guess with the high taxes and all it does not pay to work too much for him. I had to take pain pills after a while, this is good as a temporary solution also works great on skin rashes, have used this since when I lived in Europe.

Make sure to order a month in advance. This item does ship from Germany. If by chance you are receiving chemotherapy treatments, please use this product. A fellow patient has used Kamillosan since childhood. It helped with mouth sores.
