Hi Farmgirls!
(I'm filling in for Sara for this thread and I've got big shoes to fill! xo )
Chamomile is our beautiful herb of the year for 2025!
For new FarmGirls; each year we celebrate our FarmGirl Jubilee and MaryJane's birthday in May. Some of us plant the Herb of the Year or a rose in celebration. Sara has usually posted announcement of the Herb of the Year early so those who wish to plant it can add it to their garden shopping list.
Sooooo... please be sure to post recipes and other uses for our beautiful chamomile and post pictures for inspiration for all to share.
Happy Jubliee celebrations!

Chamomile is an herb from the Asteraceae family, known for its daisy-like flowers. It has two common varieties: German chamomile and Roman chamomile. Chamomile is widely used for its potential health benefits, including:
Promoting relaxation and sleep: Chamomile tea is often consumed to help with insomnia and anxiety.
Digestive health: It may aid in digestion and relieve stomach discomfort.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Chamomile has been noted for its anti-inflammatory effects, which can help with conditions like menstrual pain.
Skin health: Chamomile is used in various cosmetic products for its soothing properties.
While chamomile is generally safe, it may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, especially those allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family. For more detailed information, you can refer to sources like WebMD or contact your Dr.
