Anthemis
nobilis, a synonym of Chamaemelum nobile, is native to southern and western Europe and
cultivated across Europe and in other temperate regions. It has daisy-like
white flowers and procumbent stems. It is commonly known as Roman chamomile,
English chamomile, garden chamomile, and ground apple. The genus Chamaemelum came from the Greek, ‘earth-apple,’
describing the apple-like scent of the plant.
Romans and Greeks used it similarly to
treat skin infections and inflammations, as well as a beverage and incense.
Especially chamomile infusion is effective in sterilizing a face, and facial
steam with chamomile vapor is also good for sensitive skin. It also can be used
as a shampoo.
Chamomile has a rich history of use in
herbal medicine, mostly with anti-inflammatory and sedative effects. Systematic
analyses revealed its immunoregulatory functions both in vitro and in vivo,
addressing the inhibition of LPS-induced PGE2 release and the reduction of
COX-2 activity. More recently, its caffeoyl derivatives were identified and
verified as anti-inflammatory agents containing a rare octulosonic acid
skeleton.
