A flowering plant with daisy-like flowers that is commonly dried and brewed into a calming tea.
From Greek 'chamaimēlon,' literally 'earth apple,' combining 'chamay' (on the ground) and 'mēlon' (apple), because the flower smells slightly apple-like.
Chamomile has been used for over 5,000 years, and ancient Egyptians dedicated it to Ra (the sun god)—and modern science confirms it really does help people sleep by triggering the same brain receptors as some anti-anxiety drugs!
