Chamomile is a pretty, elegant, and fragrant herb that belongs in the Asteraceae plant family. People have been using chamomile for therapeutic purposes for centuries, and today it’s a popular tea—especially among people who are looking to unwind before bed. Chamomile tea is made from the dried flowers of the chamomile plant.
There are two primary varieties of chamomile: German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile (which is sometimes called English Chamomile). They’re different species of the same plant, though they grow a bit differently and have a slightly different appearance.
