smelling like apple, roman chamomile creeps close to the ground and reaches up to one foot in height revealing the white petals around the yellow center.

valued in ancient egypt as the herb to ra, the god of sun, chamomile was believed to be used in the mummification process because of its sacred status and benefit to repel insects while roman culture prized it in their traditional bath and incense due to its aromatic-fruity scent with renowned calming and restorative properties.
