March 2025 news!

Hello everyone 🌿

While spring is just showing its nose, we are already busy picking cuckoos and wild garlic. However, we continue our work camomile, a task that occupies our minds well.

A little chamomile? To relax?

If you are offered a little chamomile, beware that you are not being “joked”. Not all chamomiles are pleasant to drink. Stinking chamomile, if you read that right, This is not an April Fool’s joke, well the stinky chamomile lives up to its name perfectly, it really stinks. And its taste is not the best, you can’t really call it Pleasure herbal tea, so be careful.

Added plants 👏

• Pineapple weed (Matricaria discoidea)

Our plants can be crunched 👏

One of our long-term projects is to create customizable content generated from our database. In order to carry out this project, illustrations of our plants are essential. We are pleased to introduce you to Hélène Trouvé, the talented illustrator who will bring the plants in our database to life.

A quick word about Hélène, she has been passionate about nature and drawing since childhood, and has a rich background, ranging from natural history plates to the illustration of children’s books. Based in the Vosges, she combines her skills as an illustrator and self-publisher, while leading workshops and participating in local projects. Learn more about Hélène thanks to our article.

Improvement 👏

→Matricin and chamazulene

The list of biochemical compounds has been improved by merging the categories chamazulene and matricin. To be precise, matricin (a sesquiterpene lactone) is transformed into chamazulene (a sesquiterpene) under the effect of heat during the distillation of the essential oil. In summary, matricin is found in the plant, while chamazulene is found in the essential oil. They are both anti-inflammatory and calming and chamazulene is blue; It is its presence that gives chamomile and yarrow essential oil its beautiful characteristic hue.

→Seborrheic dermatitis and cradle cap

The list of uses has also been optimized by separating the Seborrheic dermatitis some cradle cap. They are both seborrheic dermatitis, with the small difference that the term cradle cap is more commonly used in infants.
