Whole Formulas Chamomile Extract, 1 fl oz

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is a shrub-like plant overflowing with delicate white flowers. Originally native to Eastern Europe, it is now found growing all over the world. The flowers, or “heads” have been used medicinally for many centuries.

In ancient times, this herb was used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to promote relaxation and sleep, reduce inflammation (gastrointestinal issues in particular) and support healing. Chamomile is derived from the Greek word “khamaimēlon,” which translates to “earth apple.” In the Middle ages, it became a popular remedy for asthma, colic, fevers, nausea and skin issues, to name a few. Chamomile’s use in the modern era is typically seen in the form of a relaxing tea, bath soak, cream or extract.

Chamomile contains several active compounds, including volatile oils (bisabolol and chamazulene) and flavonoids (protective antioxidant compounds).

The Benefits of Herbal Extracts:

Potency

The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason.

Bioavailability

Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption.

Convenience

Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.
