Chamomile Quality Story

German or true Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) contains a range of essential oil components and high levels of flavonoids. A wide variation in the levels of these constituents is found between different chemical races or varieties of Chamomile. Some varieties do not contain αlpha-bisabolol which is an important active component. MediHerb has selected a variety of Chamomile which contains αlpha-bisabolol for use in our products. αlpha-bisabolol is detected by Gas Chromatography (GC). Please be aware Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile = Anthemis nobilis) can be an adulterant in, or substituted for, true Chamomile and should be avoided due to allergic reactions.
