Abstract :

The well-known medicinal plant species chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.), which belongs to the Asteraceae family, is frequently mentioned to as the “star among medicinal species.” It originated in Western Asia and Europe and has now spread to other nations. Traditional and folk medicines all around the world have been using plant extracts and essential oils for thousands of years. There is a live domestic (Indian) and worldwide market for chamomile that is growing daily. Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir are the main growing regions for chamomile. More than 120 components are present in the plant. A wide range of industries, including the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors, used chamomile. The study aims to present the botanical characteristics, geographic range, traditional applications, chemical components, pharmacological properties, cultivation methods, toxicity tests, and quality control measures. Oils, sterols, triterpenes, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, proteins, mucins, sesquiterpenes, coumarins, polyacetylenes, phenyl carboxylic acids, amino acids, phytosterols, choline, and mineral compounds were all present in Matricaria chamomilla. Terpenoids, including chamazulene,bisabolol, farnesene and its oxides A and B are the main constituents of essential oils. The essential oils and extracts of M. chamomilla have demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antidepressant, antipyretic, anti- allergic, anticancer, antidiabetic, antiparasitic, antioxidant, and analgesic properties.
