Wound healing
Essential oils extracted from chamomile have proven to have antimicrobial properties to protect against certain types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
In a 2018 study in rats, it was found that ointment with Roman chamomile extracts significantly improved the healing and antibacterial activity in an infected wound compared with tetracycline ointment and placebo.
The German Commission E, a group of experts across different fields including scientists, doctors, pharmacologists, and toxicologists who determine if drugs are safe for use in Germany, approved the use of chamomile bacterial skin disease [4].
