Chamomile, Alchemy Plant

Illustration of Chamaemelon levcanthemon = Camillen, 1542. Chamomile or camomile is a common name for several daisy-like herbaceous plants of the family Asteraceae. These plants are best known for their ability to be made into an infusion which is commonly used to help with sleep. Chamomile can cause uterine contractions which can lead to miscarriage. Preliminary research suggests chamomile is an effective therapy for anxiety. In Russia, chamomile tea is used for stomach troubles, colds, and muscle aches as well as the usual anxiety and insomnia. It is one of the nine sacred Anglo-Saxon herbs. In the Middle Ages it was a strewing herb, and some people still sprinkle it around the house to keep out negative magic. Uses in witchcraft and magic include: dreamwork, celebrating midsummer, love magic, money charms, moon herb and a sun herb.
