German Chamomile Extract

This variety of chamomile known as Matricaria or German chamomile makes small white flowers with a yellow receptacle that must be harvested with special combs.

Chamazulene and alpha-bisabolol, molecules present in the flowers, will limit allergic reactions such as itching, skin irritation, or asthma attacks. These molecules inhibit the release of histamine, responsible for itching of the skin during an allergic reaction.
