Chamomile Roman In the research work carried out by Srivastava et al, (2010), they identified that for centuries Roman chamomile has been regarded as a valuable plant owing to its natural potential and capable of providing the body with calmness, moderate, and improved emotions. The effects are linked to the core constituents, which are esters of angelic acid, tiglic acid, and 2-methyl-butanoic acid. In the work of Setzer, (2009), it was shown that Roman chamomile is useful in the relaxation of a hyperactive mind and possesses antianxiety and stress reduction properties to help known depressed persons. Also, it helps those with insomnia to sleep at night easily, when it is used during bathing before sleeping, and brings calmness to the mind and generally to the body. It plays a significant role in providing comfort by reducing pain related to joints, insect stings, sprains, and arthritis. Lawless (1995), in the research, identified that pain resulting from physical activities, menstrual cramps, and tension can be treated by applying the oil of Roman chamomile to the abdomen in the lower region. Other conditions that have been soon to be treated effectively with Roman chamomile oil include cold sores, boils, psoriasis, sunburn, and eczema. References J.K. Srivastava, E. Shankar, S.
