The Pagan Garden-- Chamomile






Whew! Where did I get this much information on Chamomile? From Rodale's Encyclopedia of Herbs (ISBN 0-87857-699-1) Sorry about the crooked one. My poor book is falling apart after over twenty years.
I chose Chamomile because of its use --and upon occasion abuse-- by pagans and herbalists. While it is soothing, the tea can cause overdose. I know, I'm one of those who got overdosed and slept for nearly 24 hours!
Also, note that the oil is derived from the flower, so please don't give it to someone with a pollen allergy.
