Chamomilla

German chamomile

Chamomilla recutita syn Matricaria chamomilla

Chamomilla is made from the flowering German chamomile plant common in Europe. The whole plant is crushed, and its juices are mixed with equal parts of alcohol, then succussed. In homeopathy Chamomilla is considered to work best for people who are extremely sensitive to pain, irritable, impatient, and implacable. Chamomilla patients sweat easily and are sensitive to wind and chills. Chamomilla is most often given to children who work themselves into violent temper tantrums.
