Kamomilla refers to several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae, most commonly German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). These plants are widely cultivated and found in Europe, Asia, and North America. They are known for their aromatic flower heads, which are typically white with yellow centers.

Historically, chamomile has been used for a variety of medicinal purposes. Its properties are often attributed to compounds like apigenin and chamazulene, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects. The most common method of consumption is as a tea, brewed from dried chamomile flowers. This tea is frequently used to promote relaxation and aid sleep. It has also been used traditionally to soothe digestive issues and reduce anxiety.

In addition to its internal use, chamomile is sometimes applied topically. Preparations containing chamomile extract may be used on the skin to alleviate minor irritations. The gentle nature of chamomile has made it a popular ingredient in skincare products. Its pleasant, apple-like fragrance has also led to its use in perfumes and cosmetics. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to chamomile, particularly those with sensitivities to plants in the Asteraceae family, such as ragweed.
