The flowers are described as stimulant
are met with in the upper Gangetic plains and the Punjab. In Persian works the flowers are des-cribed as stimulant, attenuant and discutient, and that
the odour of the flowers induces sleep and drives noxious insects. They say that Chamomile tea applied to the genitals has a powerful stimulating effect. Chamomile oil is used externally in rheumatism in Guzerat. The flowers contain a blue essential oil and a resin. They form a perfect substitute for the European Chamomile. For further uses etc., see Anthemis Nobilis. |
