Chamomile is known to be a pretty flower and an ancient healer. The word chamomile is derived from the Greek chamos ("ground") and melos ("apple"), referring to its low-growing habit and apple-scented blooms. Its daisy-like flowers reminded the ancient Egyptians of the sun, who called it "herb of the sun". In Germany, chamomile is so popular that it is called alles zutraut--capable of anything.
