True chamomile blooms along roads and fields. Picking flowers brings me all the way back to my childhood. To the cornfields, to the Moriske from 65 years ago. The smell of yesterday.
Chamomillae floss/Matricariae flos DAB 9/F. Helv. VII. The flower heads of Matricaria recutita L., also of cultivated varieties with larger heads.
Harvest: Flower heads at the beginning of flowering, picked with a special comb, especially in the Central European countries (also collected in the wild). https://kruidwis.blogspot.com/2015/06/kamille-levensverlengend.html
