Chamomile

Chamomile refers to daisy-family plants, mainly German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), whose dried flowers are used for tea and herbal preparations.

Also listed as Matricaria Chamomilla, M. recutita, Chamaemelum nobile, Chamomile Extract

Allergy and medicines matter

Food-level tea amounts are generally considered safe, but allergy can be severe, especially with related-plant allergies. Warfarin interactions have been reported; interactions with sedatives are theoretical. NCCIH recommends discussing herbal use with a clinician when taking medicines; pregnancy and breastfeeding safety remain poorly studied. 1
