Chamomile (Matricaria recutita, also known as Matricaria chamomilla L. and Chamomilla recutita) is one of the important medicinal herbs native to southern and eastern Europe. It is also grown in Germany, Hungary, France, Russia, Yugoslavia, and Brazil. It was introduced to India during the Mughal period, and now it is grown in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Jammu and Kashmir. The plants can be found in North Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia, and New Zealand. Hungary is the main producer of the plant biomass. In Hungary, it also grows abundantly in poor soils and it is a source of income to poor inhabitants of these areas. Flowers are exported to Germany in bulk for distillation of the oil. Chamomile is used mainly as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, also antispasmodic and mildly sudorific. It is used internally mainly as a tisane for disturbances of the stomach associated with pain, for sluggish digestion, for diarrhea and nausea. More rarely and very effectively, it is used for inflammation of the urinary tract and for painful menstruation. Externally, the drug in powder form may be applied to wounds slow to heal, for skin eruptions, and infections, such as shingles and boils, also for hemorrhoids and for inflammation of the mouth, throat, and the eyes.
