Egyptian Chamomile – Bodhisattva KumariDevi-Embodied Awakening

Chamomile is an ancient medicine. The earliest record of chamomile for medicinal purposes dates back to 1550 BC, when it was mentioned in Egyptian herbal medicine records. The Egyptians dedicated the fragrant herb chamomile to the sun god Ra and used it in various rituals and treatments. Chamomile was infused into teas or infused into oils and ointments for its soothing effects on the skin and digestive system. Today, chamomile grows along the banks of the sacred Nile River in the Menia, Fayoum, Benisef, and Assuit regions of Egypt.

The importance of chamomile continued to spread throughout the Mediterranean region, where it became popular among the Greeks and Romans. These ancient cultures valued chamomile for its calming properties and often used it as a digestive aid and sleep aid. The name “chamomile” is thought to be of Greek origin, meaning “earth apple” and referring to its apple-like aroma.

Research shows that chamomile may improve blood sugar and lipid profiles and oxidative stress levels associated with diabetes. Chamomile contains chemicals called flavonoids. Flavonoids also have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical studies have revealed that flavonoids may protect against a variety of conditions, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.
