Growing wild along footpaths and verges, chamomile is also known as mayweed, false chamomile and pineapple weed, due to the pineapple-like fragrance when the flower heads are squashed. ‘Chamomile’ comes from the Greek word chamaimēlon, meaning earth apple, for the same reason. Native to southern and eastern Europe, the medicinal properties of the plant have been known for thousands of years.
