Plural of camomile; multiple plants of the daisy family known for their small white flowers and calming properties used in tea.
From Middle English and Old French camomille, from Latin chamomilla, from Greek meaning 'earth apple' (chamai 'ground' + mela 'apple'), referencing the plant's apple-like scent.
Camomile has been used for so long (ancient Egyptians used it) that scientists still can't agree on whether it actually calms you or if the warm cup and placebo effect do all the work!
