Chamomile is pretty flower in the herb garden or flower bed. it's easy to recognize scent is sweet and refreshing.   The Chamomile plant has leaves are slightly bitter tasting. Honey or sugar is usually added to teas and infusions to counter this. The plants grow from 12 to 30 inches, depending upon variety.

Chamomile is easy to grow. They love full sun. They prefer average to rich nutrient soils. Fertilizer will help this plant to grow to it's maximum height. I like "Miracle Grow" potting soil and fertilizer. Water to keep the soil moist.

Harvest these chamomile flowers when they reach peak bloom. They can be used fresh or dried. Fresh is more potent, but dried stores easily. Spread flowers out to dry in a cool and ventilated area.I like to use my dehydrator for drying herbs. It takes out some of the scent and flavor, but the flowers keep for a month or so.

"Magick Potion for Magic Spells and the Four Elements

Magick Potion: take 2 level teaspoons each of chamomile flowers and eyebright and place them in a bowl. Boil two cups of water on an open flame and then add the herbs. Set the mixture aside to cool for 15 minutes. Then filter the mixture through four layers of clean linen cloth/cheesecloth.

This potion can be used medicinally as a lotion or magically for evocations (also to improve clairvoyance). Undiluted it can be used for various minor aches & pains by applying it to the area with a cotton soaked pad for 1 - 2 hours. Earache can be treated by applying it with cotton balls in an "earplug" fashion (be sure to ring them out first). For clairvoyance place soaked cotton balls upon your closed eyes for about 20 minutes. To increase occult sensitivity in the palms of your hands (for psychometry) use the cotton pads on your hands for the same 20 minute period."  www.Dragonoak.com
