The study of chamomile (Matricaria recutita)

Abstract

In Western culture, chamomile is a well-known plant. Hippocrates, Galen, as well as Asclepius are just a few of the ancient figures who wrote upon their medical use. Paediatricians always want to know if a child's caretaker has used over-the-counter medications or herbal items, and this information should be included in any medication history. Children with GI issues including colic, dyspepsia, and diarrhoea, as well as skin ailments like dermatitis, are frequently treated with chamomile. According to clinical research, chamomile may be beneficial in the management of diarrhoea, colic, and atopic dermatitis. Children don't experience many negative effects. But use chamomile with caution if your child has allergies to ragweed, asters, or chrysanthemums.
