This week, we're spending time with one of the most beloved herbs in the apothecary: chamomile.
Often known as a simple bedtime tea, chamomile has a much deeper story to tell. Together we'll explore its ancient history, folklore, magical correspondences, medicinal uses, and the surprising role this tiny flower has played in human lives for thousands of years. From the temples of Ancient Egypt to medieval cottage floors, from dream magic and protection rituals to herbal medicine and garden wisdom, chamomile has earned its reputation as a plant capable of almost anything.
So brew yourself a cup of tea, get comfortable, and join me for another installment of Apothecary Notes as we explore the myth, magic, and medicine of chamomile.
