Tribe : Anthemideae
Genre : Chamomiles ( Matricaria )
Type : Real chamomile
Scientific name
Matricaria chamomilla
L.

The real chamomile ( Matricaria chamomilla L. ) is a species of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Originally widespread in southern and eastern Europe, it is now native to practically all of Europe. It is a medicinal plant that is mainly used for stomach and intestinal complaints as well as inflammation.

The real chamomile was named the first medicinal plant of the year by the Association of German Druggists (VDD) in 1987 . It was also voted Medicinal Plant of the Year 2002.

Description and ecology

illustration
The pinnately cut leaves are spiky.
Cut open basket: the basket base is narrowly conical and around twice as high as it is wide and hollow on the inside.
The crown of the tubular flowers is five-toothed.

Vegetative characteristics

The real chamomile is an annual herbaceous plant and reaches heights of 15 to 50 cm. All parts of the plant have a strong, characteristic odor. The stems are erect or ascending and bare, in the upper part they are usually very heavily branched.

The leaves are 4 to 7 cm long and two to three pinnate. The individual tips are narrow, linear, almost 0.5 mm wide, and have a spiked tip.

Generative characteristics

In a total inflorescence there are usually 7 to 120 (1 to 900) cup-shaped partial inflorescences. The cup handle is 3 to 10 cm long. The appearance is reminiscent of a daisy , although these are much smaller. The flower heads have a diameter of 18 to 25 mm. The 20 to 30  bracts are almost in a row. The bracts are elongated, blunt and have a light skin edge. The bottom of the cup is flat at the beginning of flowering, later it becomes conical and hollow. Usually white ray florets are present, which are turned back to the end of the anthesis , 6 to 9 mm long and 2 to 3 mm wide. The tubular flowers are golden yellow and five-toothed. The pollination is done by insects : mostly Fly , rarely by beetles and Hymenoptera . The flowering period extends from May to September.

The achenes are 0.8 to 1.5 mm long and light gray-brown in color. On the inside the achenes have four to five ribs covered with mucous glands, on the outside they are sparsely dotted with glands. The pappus is small to absent; It is seldom clearly present in fruits of the ray-florets and is as long as or longer than the fruit. It spreads in different ways: animals such as sheep, donkeys and horses eat the fruit clusters and spread the achenes, called endozoochoria ; the fruits slimy and stick to animals ( epizoochory ); and the real chamomile is spread through humans ( hemerochory ).

The flowering period is May to July.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 18, less often 36.

ecology

The real chamomile is a light germ and a long-day plant .

Occurrence

The original homeland of real chamomile is the Middle East , Southern and Eastern Europe . Today it is naturalized all over Europe, including North and South America and Australia .

It grows in fields and on wasteland, preferably on fresh, nutrient-rich, rather humus-rich loam and clay soils. It occurs up to the montane altitude level , in Tyrol it rises up to 1300 m. In Central Europe it is a character species of the Alchemillo-Matricarietum from the association Aperion spicae-venti, but also occurs in societies of the class Chenopodietea or Plantaginetea majoris.

ingredients

(-) - α-bisabolol , the main component of chamomile oil .

The essential component of real chamomile for use is chamomile oil , an essential oil that makes up 0.3 to 1.5% of the plant mass. The main components of blue chamomile oil are (-) - α-bisabolol (5–70%), various bisabolol oxides (A: 5–60, B: 5–60 and C: 0–8%), trans -β-farneses (7 –45%), various enine dicycloethers (2–30%), as well as the guajan derivatives spathulenol (around 1%) and chamaviolin . The chamazulene, which is 1 to 35% in the oil and is responsible for the blue color, is made from the matricin contained in the plant during production.

In addition to matricin (0.03–0.2%), matricarin and desacetylmatricarin also occur in sesquiterpene lactones (guaianolide) . The content of flavonoids is up to 6%, over 30 compounds have been isolated, including apigenin , apigenin-7- O - glucoside , various derivatives thereof, as well as quercetin , chrysoeriol , lutein , luteolin , patuletin , rutin , hyperosid and cosmosiin . Further compounds are coumarins ( umbelliferone , herniarin , esculetin , coumarin, scopoletin , isoscopoletin ), around 2.5% 2-glucosyl-4-methoxy cinnamic acid , anisic acid , caffeic acid , vanillic acid and syringic acid . The mucilage content is 3 to 10%.

Herbivores and Diseases

There are no known diseases or pests that could endanger the population. Powdery mildew and downy mildew attack leaves and stems, Alternaria attacks leaves, Fusarium the roots.

The chamomile smooth beetle ( Olibrus aeneus ) eats in the flower heads. Aphids, bed bugs, weevils and gloss beetles are common. A specific pest is the chamomile- stem weevil ( Microplontus rugulosus ). In the case of severe aphid infestation and subsequent colonization of ladybirds, the drug can be significantly contaminated .

Cultivation

Real chamomile commodity mostly comes from cultures; the most important producing countries are Argentina, Egypt, Bulgaria, Hungary, and to a lesser extent Spain, the Czech Republic and Germany. In Germany, the demand for chamomile is around 5000 t, with the market value of this amount being almost 20 million euros.

The real chamomile is mainly grown on sandy loam soils of the black earth type and on aubo soils . It does not make any special demands on the previous crop within the crop rotation. Root crops and cereals are suitable . There are different varieties of chamomile , which differ in the main components of the essential oil and also have different geographical distributions. They were created through intensive breeding work since the late 20th century. The most important breeding goals are firm flower heads, an even flowering horizon, high stability and a high proportion of essential oils, and here a high proportion of bisabolol and chamazulene. Many of these new varieties are tetraploid , which has the advantage that wild forms cannot cross. Cultivation is carried out by autumn or spring sowing. Nitrogen fertilization is usually not carried out, as this mainly promotes the formation of weeds, and mechanical harvesting is also impaired. No herbicides are permitted for camomile cultivation in Germany ; weed control is purely mechanical.

The optimal harvest time is when two thirds of the flowers on the head have opened. A stand is usually picked three times by machine, after a harvest the plants form adventitious shoots with new flower heads. Drying takes place two hours after harvest at the latest, as otherwise the ingredients will change significantly. Excessively high drying temperatures reduce the content of ingredients, especially the chamazulene and flavonoid content drops sharply.

The yields are very different depending on the location and the weather or the variety, the data range from 1.5 to 18.5 quintals of dry flower drug per hectare, or from 1.5 to 4 liters of essential oil per hectare.

use

Chamomile flowers

"Chamomile flowers" (tea)
Chamomile flower heads

The pharmaceutical drug of the dried inflorescences is called Matricariae flos or chamomile flowers. The content of essential oil must be at least 4 ml per kg of dried drug. As a drug, it can only consist of flower heads.

The chamomile flowers have a pleasant scent. They are used as anti-inflammatories , as antispasmodic , carminative and as an antacid . They also have a deodorant and anti- bacterial effect. When used internally, the main areas of application are stomach and intestinal complaints such as gastritis , enteritis , colitis , flatulence , cramp-like complaints in the digestive tract and menstrual cramps . It is also reported that real chamomile has a calming and anti-anxiety effect. The real chamomile is used externally for skin and mucous membrane inflammations, for bacterial skin diseases, also of the oral cavity and the gums. In the case of inflammatory diseases of the airways, inhalations are carried out. Baths and rinses are used for diseases in the anal and genital areas. It is not recommended to use the infusion in the eye area.

Allergic skin reactions to real chamomile have been described very rarely. A discussed trigger, the sesquiterpene lactone anthecotulide as it occurs in Anthemis cotula , does not occur in the real chamomile. The coumarin herniarin is also being discussed as a candidate. These rare allergic reactions are the reason that the standard approval advises against use in the eye area.

The flowers, herbs and seeds are used for chamomile tea . Chamomile tea is used as a sleeping tea and as a sedative, especially in Romanic countries. An Italian tea specialty is “Camomilla setacciata” made from the yellow tubular flowers of chamomile, which is often drunk after a meal or before going to bed.

Chamomile oil

Chamomile oil from Matricaria recutita

The (essential) chamomile oil or Matricariae aetheroleum is obtained from fresh or dried flower heads by steam distillation . This creates the blue colored chamazulene in large quantities from colorless precursors, which gives the entire oil this color. The areas of application largely correspond to those of chamomile flowers.

Chamomile flower extracts obtained by soaking in vegetable oils are also known as (fatty) chamomile oil, the concentration of the chamomile active ingredients contained therein is significantly lower than in the case of essential chamomile oil.

In aromatherapy , chamomile oil is used for a better complexion.

nomenclature

The correct scientific name of real chamomile has been debated in the literature. Many non-taxonomic works list several names, these are mostly Matricaria chamomilla L. , Matricaria recutita L. and Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert . However, the latter is practically always listed as a synonym .

The two names Matricaria chamomilla and Matricaria recutita were published in 1753 by Carl von Linné in his Species Plantarum . Historically, Matricaria chamomilla was mostly considered the correct name, while from around 1975 most authors considered Matricaria recutita to be correct. The formation of a separate genus Chamomilla with the argument that the name Matricaria is actually the correct one for Tripleurospermum by Rauschert could not prevail.

Matricaria chamomilla was only assigned a lectotype in 1974 by Grierson . According to Applequist 2002, this type belongs to the species that Linné also described under the name Matricaria recutita , so both names are legitimate and have the same priority. According to ICBN , the priority of one name over the other is determined by the author, who first selects one of these names and explicitly declares the second to be a synonym. According to Applequist Visiani, this was 1844. Applequist therefore concludes that Matricaria chamomilla L. from 1753 is the correct name. It is also listed under this name by Werner Greuter in the Euro + Med database in Berlin-Dahlem , in the Austrian excursion flora from 2008 or at GRIN.

Further synonyms for Matricaria chamomilla L. are Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert , Courrantia chamomilloides Sch. Gdp. nom. illeg., Matricaria bayeri Kanitz , Matricaria courrantiana DC. , Matricaria exigua Tuntas , Matricaria kochiana Sch. Gdp. , Matricaria pusilla Willd. , Matricaria salina (Schur) Schur , Matricaria suaveolens L. nom. illeg., Chamomilla recutita var. bayeri (Kanitz) Dostál , Matricaria chamomilla var. salina Schur .
