Biotechnol. 21 ( 3), 675–682. 10.1007/s10068-012-0088-z Plant chamomile outside in the garden in early spring. Whether you grow chamomile from seed or buy nursery starts, wait to transplant seedlings outside until after the last spring frost has passed. If an unexpected late frost occurs, plan to protect the young tender seedlings to prevent damage – such as with a cloche or hoops and frost cover. Yet don’t wait too long! It’s important for chamomile to get established in the garden before hot weather arrives. Mature plants with deep roots are more tolerant of heat. A food dehydrator is a great way to dry chamomile, especially for long-term storage or if you intend to make oil infusions, tinctures, or salves. (Using 100% dry flowers is crucial for oils or salves since any leftover moisture in the flowers can make the final product mold or spoil more easily). Yet it’s best to dry chamomile on a very low temperature setting to retain its beneficial and medicinal compounds. We set our dehydrator to 110°F or below (or use the lowest setting available) for 24 hours or longer. Warmer temperatures will make the flowers dry faster, though I don’t recommend drying chamomile in the oven.The tea to water ratio: keep in mind that you need 1 tablespoon of chamomile (or 1 chamomile tea bag) per 1 cup of water. Then it’s easy to scale this recipe to the number of servings desired. Warm chamomile Tea People who have previously had an allergic reaction, even mild, to chamomile products: They should avoid chamomile, as allergic reactions can get worse with time. Chamomile tea is an age-old remedy for a variety of ailments. Rich in antioxidants, chamomile tea can help soothe an upset stomach, reduce inflammation, and even act as a mild sedative. Usually used in its dried form, it is rich in terpenoids and flavonoids. It’s particularly known for its anti-inflammatory properties from the chamazulene present. As such, it’s often used for a range of issues – from muscle pain and menstrual cramps through to insomnia and gastrointestinal problems. Romans used chamomile as a medicinal herb to fight disease and promote longevity. Its healing qualities spread throughout Europe and eventually the British brought chamomile plants to North America. Doctors throughout Europe and in the early settlements of America included chamomile in their medicinal bags because it was able to reduce pain, inflammation, allergies and digestive issues. It’s also used in homeopathy. People also used it as a natural deodorant, shampoo and perfume.

Research warfarin interaction with Matricaria chamomilla. Canadian Medical Association Journal, vol. 174, no. 9, pp. 1281–1282, 2006. It has been reported that powder moisture content below 10% is considered microbiologically safe ( Tze et al., 2012). Since the spray-dried chamomile extract powder obtained from two different spraying conditions were having moisture content higher than 10%, these powder samples may not achieve microbial safety. The higher residual moisture found in these two samples could have resulted in particle agglomeration as observed in our Figure 1.
