I couldnt agree more about chamomile from tea bags. I was finally able to grow one precious chamomile plant in my garden this year and was able to harvest enough for a a few cups of tea. I couldn't believe the difference in flavor! I was stunned by the green apple flavor....and i nearly fell asleep after that one cup, whereas I've never had any feeling like that from the commercial tea in bags. Ill be planting as much as my garden will hold this year so that i have enough for the year. My favorite tea of all time is rose petals 40%, chamomile 40%, and mint (equal parts spearment and peppermint) 10%. Sooooo soothing and luxurious.
Wow ty so much for this episode! I happen to be one of the rare individuals who has strong adverse reactions to chamomile...but not the rest of the ragweeds, so I was always confused and thought it was in my head (and in a moment of digestive and nervous stress thought chamomile was the perfect remedy and probably those migraines were just a coincidence--not to mention I hate the taste--- anyways lo and behold the debilitating headaches were NOT a coincidence and I proved to myself once and for all that my issues are with chamomile and chamomile alone) Very glad to hear that it is actually an acknowledged reaction to specifically be sensitive to chamomile. I appreciate her so much but she is not for me. It's funny but in all the years of learning about chamomile 8+ years of active herbal studies) I never head the caveat of some people sensitive to chamomile not alsp being sensitive to other rageweeds! Very curious as to what specifically causes my reaction! Ty for the validation, lol
Im grateful you are on RUclips. Your poster of all the herbs and their element association within ayurveda and TCM is posted on my wall. I have looked at that every time.
Rosalee, is it to late to start growing chamomile?? I love it. But I'd like to grow my own instead of buying the tea bags. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!!
I love all your videos and can't wait to get your books ! I live in Italy, and here it's kind of common knowlwdge among herbalists that if you infuse your chamomile for more that 3 minutes is can have an exciting effect insted of a calming effect😅 is it a myth then?
Thanks for your comment and kind words! If you infuse for more than 3 minutes, the taste does get exciting. Definitely more bitter! But, in my experience, the longer you infuse it, the more calming the effects are. With a really strong infusion it can be incredibly sedating.
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you for your answer! My personal and absolutely non-professsional view about It Is that, as you said, the taste most definitely gets more "exciting", and of the drinker Is not used to a bitter taste... It might not relax as well as the sweet beverage that reminds them of their childwood. Maybe that's my view because I don't particularly love bitters😂 don't start me on my pep-talks for when I need yarrow tea🤭
Ty i happen to be allrigic to ragweed and didn’t know that they are related so i had 2 tummy aches not stomach issues lately this tea that i have (which allso has lavender in it) just made them worse! So much for a sleep aid tea😢
Chamomile can be problematic for some people with ragweed allergies. Luckily there are a lot of herbs you can rely on for sleep. My most recent episode with Tammi Sweet is all about that.
I have organic Camomile planted in my garden from a highly reputable seed company. It has no fragrance, but dries beautifully. Could it be Roman and not German by any chance?
I have both Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) and German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) growing and they both have strong scents. The lack of scent is more common with hybrids, and sometimes with growing conditions. Are you able to check the exact botanical name on the seeds? If not, contact the seed company. ~Karin Rose
Thank you for your reply, Karin Rose. The exact botanical name is Matricaria retuctita. It was grown from seed in a very large container (3 ft by 5 ft and 30 inches deep) of organic bagged garden soil.

Is it possible that it can cause all over body itching. I've been drinking it in a sleep tea blend along with other herbs so just ruling out each one. Rose petals, chamomile, lavender, skullcap, passionflower, valerian root, california poppy so I have alot to get through. I drink this about 2 hrs before bed and I'm experiencing itchy all over body skin. It's driving me crazy. Could any of these be causing this reaction.
Hi, you have the right idea to narrow down which herb may be causing the itching. Here's a great article Rosalee wrote that can help you: www.herbalremediesadvice.org/herb-side-effects.html ~Karin Rose
Hmmm...I wonder if it is just the fact that you are drinking more fluids than usual (or at different times than typical for you). Chamomile is not known to have a diuretic effect. And, of course, each person can have their own unique responses to anything. ~Karin Rose
I mention the benefits of the different teas in that section. But you're right, I could have done more with that. I had just done Part I of this series which does go into the benefits much more in depth and I didn't want to repeat myself.

I grew so much Camomile last yr. My 4 yr old Granddaughter loved helping me pick it and making tea.❤
Ahh chamomile ❤ my favorite in the garden. Thank you for these lovely tips.

@@aleje5761 thanks!
New to your channel, I'm so glad I 'stumbled' in all your incredible information. Thank you!!!!
Welcome! We hope you enjoy the podcast. This one is a particularly good one to "stumble upon".
Rosalee, is it to late to start growing chamomile?? I love it. But I'd like to grow my own instead of buying the tea bags. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!!
Hi! It depends on where you live. I recommend checking with some local gardeners.
~Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee would chamomile grow well inside throughout the winter? I want to grow my own chamomile too!
@@HerbsWithRosalee I'm in NC.

Thanks for watching!
How do I get your books? From Kenya. Also, are there any side effects from taking chamomile and Ginseng together?

I’m in Australia
The chamomile e-book file says "corrupted" when I download it.
Sorry you're having troubles. We just re-tested it and it's working fine. You may need to try it again...
Where can we get the book about teas in this episode?

I always try to grow it in containers,but always gets dry and die
I had to dramatically increase the size of my pots for chamomile and this is when they started thriving.
~Karin Rose
i tried chamomile tea but it almost has no taste maybe my taste buds are not working
Or perhaps the chamomile is old and has lots its aromatics.
what is the strongest flavored tea?@@HerbsWithRosalee
❤
Chamomile tea changed my life but the only problem is it's have dirutic effect i pee a lot
