German Chamomile: Therapeutic Properties
Used topically German Chamomile is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It soothes gastric pain when a drop is consumed mixed into a cup of Chamomile or herbal tea. French literature says it eliminates metabolic waste during and after bacterial infection, hence its capacity to reduce fever.
