Published in Anton C. de Groot, Monographs in Contact Allergy, 2021
Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert (syn. Matricaria chamomilla L., Matricaria recutita L.), popularly known as German chamomile, is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Native to Europe and adjoining Asian countries, the plant is cultivated all over the world for the flowers and the flower oil, particularly in European countries such as Hungary, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Slowakia and the former Yugoslavia, and in Egypt and Argentina. German chamomile is an important medicinal and aromatic plant of both traditional and modern systems of medicine and chamomile flowers are still an official drug in the pharmacopoeia of some 20 countries (11).

To calm horses, chamomile oil is added to their feed. Pneumonia in young elephants caused by Klebsiella is claimed to be healed by Lippia javanica oil. Rose and yarrow oils bring about emotional release in donkeys by licking them. Wounds in horses are treated with Achillea millefolium oil; sweet itch is treated with peppermint oil. Matricaria recutita and A. millefolium oils are used to heal the skin with inflammatory conditions (Ingraham, 2008).
Herbs with Antidepressant Effects
Published in Scott Mendelson, Herbal Treatment of Major Depression, 2019
Matricaria recutita, commonly known as chamomile, is a member of the daisy family native to Europe and western Asia. There are two herbs that go by this name, German and Roman Chamomile. German chamomile (Matricaria recutita or Matricaria chamomilla) is the most commonly used, best studied, and more potent of the two, and from here on will be the species to which I am referring. The primary active phytochemicals in Matricaria recutita are apigenin and bisabolol. It also contains lesser amounts of luteolin, quercetin, rutin, and naringenin, all of which are known to be bioactive. The herb has long been used as a sedative, anxiolytic, antispasmodic, and as a treatment for mild skin inflammation.1,2

One proposed remedy for this side effect is blocking the thymidine phosphorylase activity in skin24. Another strategy to protect skin from the destructive effects of free radical formation after systemic chemotherapy would be application of highly concentrated antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents23. This was confirmed by our previous research administrating a standardized polyherbal hydrogel containing Calendula officinalis L., Matricaria recutita L. and Salvia officinalis L. with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity to cancer patients, who developed symptoms of HFS while receiving fluorouracil agents. In the mentioned work, of 21 patients who completed the study, 57% and 14% showed one and two HFS grade improvements, respectively25.

So, compounds with antioxidant properties may be beneficial to prevent oxidative damage of Dz. Previous studies showed the protective role of antioxidant agents against Dz toxicity. For example, aqueous extracts of Matricaria Recutita L. and Asparagus officinalis could ameliorate Dz-induced toxicity through the MDA level reduction and elevation of GSH content (Sulak et al. 2005). Also, pomegranate seed oil reduced Dz-induced nephrotoxicity via inhibition of oxidative stress in the kidney of rats (Boroushaki et al. 2013).
