The petals of chamomile may be used in salads.

Use fresh blooms on cakes for a lovely summer dessert presentation.

Fresh chamomile can be used in wreaths and bouquets of flowers and herbs.

The leaves of chamomile may be dried as well for potpourri.

Press the blooms to use in crafts.

I like making bookmarks, note cards and gift tags.

Place a handful of chamomile in a square of cheesecloth or muslin, gather and tie then throw into your bath for a soothing skin treat. 

Also make bath teas by placing chamomile and powdered milk or ground oatmeal in a muslin bag then brewing it for about 15 minutes before adding to my bath.

In researching for this profile I found much of the text I read regarded the chamomiles as "disagreeable" and the tea was often used only medicinally.

Perhaps I am too sentimental about herbs, but I find the aroma and taste of chamomile to be comforting.

**Though it's not considered a "kitchen herb"  I think it should be grown in every cook's garden.
