Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) As a Valuable Medicinal Plant
Journal Title: International journal of Advanced Biological and Biomedical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Chamomile is a widely recognized herb in Western culture. Its medicinal usage dates back to antiquity where such notables as Hippocrates, Galen, and Asclepius made written reference to it. As part of any medication history, pediatricians always should ask a child’s caregiver about the child’s use of over-thecounter remedies and herbal products. Chamomile is used widely to treat children who have GI disorders such as colic, dyspepsia, and diarrhea and to treat skin conditions such as dermatitis. Clinical studies have demonstrated that chamomile may have a positive effect in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, colic, and diarrhea. There are few adverse effects in children. However, children who are allergic to ragweed, asters, and chrysanthemums should use chamomile with caution.
