It is known from ancient times. Probably originating from Eurasia, the Germanic tribes dedicated the medicinal plant camomile to the god Baldur. This should be harvested on the day of St. John, because it would have a particularly high healing power on that day.
This is why camomile is particularly valued in folk medicine. Hieronymus Bock and Jakob Theodor Tabernaemontanus already mentioned chamomile in ancient times as an effective wound and stomach remedy.
