this has been sitting in my folders collecting dust for A LITERAL YEAR so [throws this at you]

Another thrilling installment of ‘Corvid Favorites’! This time, I’ll be speaking on Chamomile and it’s lovely properties, both medicinally and magickally.
The Chamomile that we know and love is typically one of two species of daisy-like plants of the Asteraceae family: the Matricaria Recutita (German Chamomile) and Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile). What’s the difference? German Chamomile is an annual that has a cone like center with petals that flare out from the center; German Chamomile are also smooth stemmed and grow similar to baby’s breath. Roman Chamomile is a perennial that has a more fern-like stem and has feathery-like petals. (See image below. Left: German Chamomile. Right: Roman Chamomile.)
Associations:
➣ Element: Water
➣ Chakra: Throat
➣ Planet: Sun
➣ Zodiac Affiliations: Capricorn, Leo
Properties:
➣ Love
➣ Money
➣ Purification
➣ Sleep
➣ Healing
➣ Protection
Uses:
Medicinally - The biggest and probably most known medicinal use Chamomile is known for is as a sleep aid. As a natural sedative, it’s a wonderful combatant against anxiety and insomnia. It’s also anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, aids with digestion and other gastrointestinal issues, aids in relieving nausea and vomiting, and has been used to treat fevers in children.
Magickally - Washing your hands with Chamomile is said to increase your luck before gambling. Sprinkling it around the home or inside the home is a safe alternative to salt or smoke cleansing and protection, and it’s also fur baby safe (Word of caution: Cats tend to be more sensitive than Dogs to Chamomile). Add it into a bath for some added deep relaxation and peaceful intentions. Drink a nice, hot cup of Chamomile tea to aid in meditation and setting up a peaceful mind.
