German Chamomile is one of
the many herbs recognized as a drug by 'The United States
Pharmacopoeia', 'The Pharmacopoeia of Great Britain', and 'The
National Formulary'. The primary essential constituent for
which it has received such official status is Azulene,
a known anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. Azulene
is the component that gives Essential Oil of Chamomile
it's rich blue-green color and can also be seen as a
greenish-blue hue on the chamomile buds.
It is important to harvest
chamomile just before the flower is fully open while the Azulene
levels are at their highest. |

and Hyssop infused in olive oil.
