{{stub}} {{NeedsImage}} '''Camomile''' or '''chamomile''' is a common name for a variety of herbs in the daisy family (''astercae''). Many subspecies are used, but the most common is ''Matricaria chamomilla'' (German camomile or wild camomile). Another frequently used species is ''Chamaemelum nobile'' (Roman, English or garden camomile).<ref name="WebMD"/> Often these two are used interchangeably as a mild sedative or nervative. Chamomile is most often prepared as an infusion, or tea. ==Theory== ==Evidence== Camomile is often used for calming, mild stress or anxiety, for a stomach upset, or as a sleep remedy, but there is little evidence for this.<ref name="WebMD">{{Cite web|url=https://www.webmd.com/diet/supplement-guide-chamomile|title=Chamomile Health Benefits and Uses|last=Ferdinand|first=Pamela|last2=Griffin|first2=R.
