Chamomile, Roman: Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. [formerly Anthemis nobilis (L.)]
Why Chamomile, Roman? In Egyptian times, chamomile was a sacred flower and was used as an offering to the sun god Ra. The floral and sweet essential oil of Roman chamomile is useful for balancing the mind and providing an overall sense of calm.
