“…Chamomile includes polysaccharides, volatile oils, terpenes, sterols, coumarins, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Chamomile contains a variety of different chemicals, and as a result, it has a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical actions (Figure 1), including anticancer, antiinfective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypotensive, hypolipidemic, antiallergic, antidepressant, and neuroprotective benefits (Singh et al, 2011;Ubessi et al, 2019;Desam and Al-Rajab, 2021;Dai et al, 2022).…”

Chamomile oil or extract, derived from the chamomile flower, is a natural remedy with various therapeutic properties. This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the medicinal properties of chamomile oil or extract including its antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. Chamomile oil has exhibited antibacterial and antifungal properties against various microbes, involving Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. It has also been found to regulate blood sugar levels in animal and human studies, making it a potential candidate for diabetes treatment. Moreover, chamomile oil has antitumor properties, as it can induce apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit their growth. In addition, chamomile oil has anti-inflammatory features, making it a possible option for treatment under inflammatory circumstances such as eczema, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Chamomile oil has also been found to have valuable impacts on poultry farming due to its antimicrobial properties. It may be utilized as an organic substitute for antibiotics in chicken production. It is effective against common poultry pathogens, including Salmonella and E. coli, and can also improve poultry growth and feed conversion rate. In conclusion, chamomile oil or extract are promising natural remedy with various therapeutic properties and useful impacts on poultry and small ruminants.

“…Chamomile, one of the Asteraceae family members, is either a perennial or annual plant. Ubessi et al (2019) state that the plant increases hunger and reduces perspiration and uncomfortable swellings. Native to temperate Europe and Asia, chamomile is grown there and around the world for its great medicinal, cosmetic, and culinary value.…”

“…Thus, rats that treated of a homeopathic medicine based on Chamomilla 6CH were able to return to their normal state faster when subjected to stressful conditions (PINTO et al, 2008). This phenomenon may be due to the calming effects of Chamomilla, which includes flavonoid and α-bisabolol (UBESSI et al, 2019), the substances responsible for the medicinal properties of this plant. The flavonoid apigenin found in Chamomilla decreases plasma cortisol concentrations (YAMADA et al, 1996).…”

“…In this context, among the homeopathic medicines we can mention Natrum muriaticum, which is sodium chloride; has been used in humans to treat behavioral disorders (SAREMBAUD, 2017). In addition, Chamomilla is a medicinal plant used to relieve emotional stress (PINTO et al, 2008) and as a tranquilizer, anti-inflammatory, and aromatherapy (UBESSI et al, 2019). Another substance used as homeopathic medicine is Ignatia amara is a phytochemical extracted from the seeds of the plant Strychnos ignatii.…”

This study aimed to determine if the homeopathic formulation based on Natrum muriaticum, Matricaria, Chamomilla, and Ignatia amara was effective for stress control in dogs in order to prevent and/or reduce the frequency of unwanted behaviors. Ten male beagle dogs were divided into two groups, with five animals per group. The control group was animals receiving 0.5 mL/day of placebo via spray in the feed for 30 consecutive days as a preventive. The treated group received 0.5 mL/day of tested drug spray in the feed for 30 consecutive days as a preventive. Behavioral tests were performed at two time points, before and after receiving the tested drug. We performed the following behavioral tests: a) persons known and unknown in the internal and external environment; b) interaction with toys; c) interaction with an unknown dog, d) test with a leash; and e) firecracker test. There was more engagement in digging and scaling the fence in the control group than in the treatment group (P < 0.05). The animals that received homeopathic medicine sat 2.54 times longer than the control (P = 0.0269). Dogs that received homeopathic showed 4.49 times more interest in general at D30 than at D1 (P = 0.0214). Animals in the treated group showed an 83% less chance of urinating than the control group in the tests involving displacements. We conclude that the preventive addition of homeopathic medicine containing Natrum muriaticum, Chamomilla, and Ignatia amara reduced undesirable behaviors related to anxiety and increased the incidence of interest behavior.

“…Chamomile is composed of various constituents, including polysaccharides, volatile oils, terpenes, sterols, terpenoids, coumarins, and flavonoids (Abd El-Hack et al, 2023). Due to its diverse chemical composition, chamomile exhibits a wide range of actions, encompassing anti-infective, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, neuroprotective, hypolipidemic, hypotensive, hypoglycemic, and antidepressant properties (Ubessi et al, 2019;Desam and Al-Rajab, 2021;Fen et al, 2021;Dai et al, 2023). Generally, Chamomile holds significant importance in traditional medicine and carries substantial economic value due to its numerous pharmacological effects and traditional uses (Dai et al, 2023).…”

This study examined the effects of Echinacea purpurea (EP), Chamomile flowers (ChF), and their mixture on productive performance, blood profile, and physiological parameters in lactating Zaraibi goats. Twenty-eight Zaraibi goats weighing 32.38±3.35 kg were randomly divided into four equal groups after parturition. Group 1 was fed the basal diet without additives, while the other three groups were supplemented with 1.0g EP/kg diet, 1.0g ChF/kg diet, and 0.5g EP+0.5g ChF/kg diet, respectively. The results demonstrated that the supplementations had increased the feed unite intake, feeding values, and nutrient digestibility, particularly for crude protein and crude fiber, as well as increased ruminal total volatile fatty acids, with significant differences obtained (p<0.05) between the mixture supplementation and the control group. Hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, mean-corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and lymphocytes, were positively affected (p<0.05) by the EP and the mixture supplements compared to control group. The dietary supplementations enhanced (p<0.05) serum total protein, globulin, aspartate amino-transferase, alanine amino-transferase, cholesterol, creatinine, and urea concentrations. The EP and mixture supplementations increased (p<0.05) daily milk yield, fat content, and total solids percentage, while reduced milk somatic cell count compared to control group. The supplemented groups also exhibited improved changes (p<0.05) in body weights and feed conversion ratios per kilogram of milk yield, with the mixture supplementation showing the most substantial improvements. Overall, improved health status and body weights align with high milk production indicate the potential benefits of incorporating the current EP and ChF combination as a dietary supplement in the management practices of lactating Zaraibi goats.
