RemarksThe most common herb in Europe is Chamomile. There are two kinds of Chamomile. One is German chamomile (Jap. name: Kamitsure) which is an annual grass. The other is Roman chamomile, Anthemis nobilis L. (Jap. name: Romakamitsure), which is a herbaceous perennial. The word Chamomile comes from both "Khamai" which means earth and "Melon" which means apple in Greek since its flower has the flavor of apple. The aroma slightly varies between the two varieties. The flower-head of German chamomile is commonly used in Europe especially in Germany. Its infusion has moderate sedating properties and it is applied for irritation and insomnia. It is also used to keep warm for cold constitution, sweating out, and lowering of fever in the first stage of cold and pharyngodynia. Roman chamomile is said to be the genuine Chamomile. In England, the word Chamomile indicates this one. The constituents are similar to German chamomile as well as the benefits.
