#matricaria chamomilla

[wildlifegermany]

Matricaria chamomilla is a member of the Asteraceae family, native to southern and eastern Europe. The flowers are borne in paniculate flower heads (capitula). The white ray florets are furnished with a ligule, while the disc florets are yellow. The hollow receptacle is swollen and lacks scales. This property distinguishes German chamomile from corn chamomile (Anthemis arvensis), which has a receptacle with scales. The flowers bloom in early to midsummer and have a fragrant aroma.

Tıbbi papatya nasıl ayırt edilir? Biraz bundan bahsedelim ve detaylara bakalım. Tıbbi papatya (Matricaria chamomilla), papatya ailesinin (Asteraceae) bir üyesidir ve diğer papatya türlerine benzer bir görünüme sahiptir. Mayıs papatyası veya Alman papatyası diye de anılır,  ancak tıbbi papatya diğer papatyalardan birkaç önemli özelliğiyle ayırt edilebilir:

Çiçek Başının Şekli: Tıbbi papatyanın çiçek başı koni biçimindedir ve içi boştur. Diğer papatyalarda ise çiçek başı daha yayvan bir yapıya sahiptir.

Yaprakların Yapısı: Tıbbi papatyanın yaprakları ince ve parlaktır. Diğer papatyalarda ise yapraklar daha geniş ve mat olabilir.

Renk: Tıbbi papatyanın çiçekleri beyaz renktedir ve ortasında sarı bir disk bulunur. Diğer papatyalarda ise çiçeklerin rengi ve disk farklı olabilir.

Koku: Tıbbi papatya, karakteristik bir elma kokusuna sahiptir. Diğer papatyalarda ise koku daha az belirgin olabilir.

Boyut: Tıbbi papatya, diğer papatyalara göre daha küçük boyutludur. Genellikle 20-30 cm boya ulaşır. Diğer papatyalar ise 50 cm’ye kadar büyüyebilir.

Habitat: Tıbbi papatya, tarlalarda, yol kenarlarında ve boş arazilerde yetişir. Diğer papatyalar ise daha çeşitli habitatlarda bulunabilir.

Tıbbi papatya ile diğer papatyaları ayırt etmek için:

Çiçek başının şekline dikkat edin. Tıbbi papatyanın çiçek başı koni biçiminde ve içi boştur.

Yaprakların yapısını ve rengini inceleyin. Tıbbi papatyanın yaprakları ince ve parlaktır ve çiçekleri beyaz renktedir.

Kokuyu test edin. Tıbbi papatya, karakteristik bir elma kokusuna sahiptir.

Boyuta dikkat edin. Tıbbi papatya, diğer papatyalara göre daha küçük boyutludur.

Habitatı göz önünde bulundurun. Tıbbi papatya, tarlalarda, yol kenarlarında ve boş arazilerde yetişir.

Eğer tıbbi papatya toplamak istiyorsanız:

Bitkinin doğru şekilde teşhis edildiğinden emin olun.

Temiz ve kirlenmemiş bir alandan toplama yapın.

Sadece çiçekleri toplayın ve yaprakları ve sapları bırakın.

Topladıktan sonra papatyaları gölgede kurutun.

Tıbbi Papatya ve Diğer Papatya Yağları Arasındaki Farklar

Tıbbi papatya yağı da diğer papatya yağlarından bazı önemli farkları ile ayırt edilir.

Kimyasal Bileşim: Tıbbi papatya yağı, diğer papatya yağlarından farklı bir kimyasal bileşime sahiptir. En önemli bileşenleri azulen, bisabolol ve chamazulene’dir. Bu bileşenler, tıbbi papatya yağına anti-enflamatuar, antioksidan, antimikrobiyal ve spazmolitik gibi birçok tıbbi özelliğini verir.

Renk: Tıbbi papatya yağı, diğer papatya yağlarından farklı bir renge sahiptir. Mavi renktedir, diğer papatya yağları ise genellikle sarı veya renksizdir. Mavi renk, chamazulene bileşeninden kaynaklanır.

Koku: Tıbbi papatya yağı, diğer papatya yağlarından farklı bir kokuya sahiptir. Hafif, tatlı bir papatya kokusuna sahiptir, diğer papatya yağları ise daha keskin veya farklı bir kokuya sahip olabilir.

Kullanım Alanları: Tıbbi papatya yağı, diğer papatya yağlarından daha geniş bir kullanım alanına sahiptir. Rahatlama ve sakinleşme, sindirim problemleri, iltihap, ağrı, cilt bakımı gibi birçok sağlık sorununa yardımcı olmak için kullanılabilir.

Fiyat: Tıbbi papatya yağı, diğer papatya yağlarından daha pahalıdır. Bunun nedeni, tıbbi papatya bitkisinin yetiştirilmesi ve hasat edilmesinin daha zor olması ve yağın kimyasal bileşiminin daha karmaşık olmasıdır.

Tıbbi papatya, çeşitli sağlık sorunları için kullanılabilir. Ancak, tıbbi papatya kullanmadan önce bir doktora danışmak önemlidir.

Chamomile

Matricaria chamomilla (shown) | Chameamelum nobile

Known as: Chamaimelon, earth apple, German chamomile, ground apple, heermannchen chamaimelon, maythen, manzanilla, Roman chamomile, scented mayweed, whig plant & wild chamomile

Related plants: There are two species of chamomile, both are in the Asteraceae family (Roman chamomile & German chamomile) with plants that consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. They are commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite or sunflower family. I am from this point forward referring to Matricaria chamomilla in this post specifically.

Parts used: whole flower & leaves

Habitat & cultivation: This flowering plant is native to South-West Asia, Eastern & Southern Europe but can be found on almost  continents nowadays. The wild-growing chamomile species normally grow on sandy to loamy soils that are mostly acidic and should be open.

Plant type: Annual

Region: 5-9

Harvest: Can be harvested as soon as blooms have established which is about 10 weeks.

Growing tips: The roots of chamomile are shallow and just barely grip onto the top soil which makes it more sensitive to water conditions during the initial stages of growth when the plant is establishing itself. However once it's established, it is drought tolerant & need about an inch of water a week. Wait until after the last spring frost to add chamomile to your garden. It grows well in raised beds, containers, and in-ground gardens. Space chamomile plants 8 inches apart in full sun for best flowering. In hot climates, an area with partial afternoon shade is ideal.

Medicinal information: Chamomile has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years. A mouth rinse with chamomile might relieve mouth sores caused by cancer treatments. Some research suggests that chamomile could help with other conditions, like diarrhea in children, hemorrhoids, anxiety, and insomnia. When used on the skin, chamomile might help with skin irritation and wound healing. Some research has documented that it may be as effective as hydrocortisone cream for eczema.

Cautions: Most experts say chamomile is safe. It can cause drowsiness and, in large doses, vomiting. It also has the potential to trigger allergic reactions in people who are allergic to related plants in the daisy family, although such reactions are very rare. Given the lack of evidence about its long-term safety, chamomile is not recommended for people who are pregnant or chestfeeding.

Magickal properties

if daisy were to take a clan name, is there a clanmew word for an actual daisy she could switch to? i know the cats couldn't actually make the connection that the human word = a type of flower, but i'm interested to know if daisy has an equivalent!

There's actually a whole bunch she could have picked from!! She very specifically chose to keep her Seamew name.

In Clanmew, "Daisy" even has a generic term. White flowers with a yellow button are called Osma. There are SEVEN major types of daisies that Clan cats encounter on a regular basis, and usually, only Clerics can reliably tell them all apart.

Most cats in a Clan will just be familiar with their uses.

Lawn Daisy (Bellis perennis) = Os'hap This is the most common daisy, a widespread flower that closes up at night.

Moon Penny (Leucanthemum vulgare) = Rashma Also called an "ox-eye daisy," or "invasive bastard weed" in American English, Clan cats HATE this plant because it makes animals that eat it taste funny. It's also FULL of pollen and very hard to get rid of in a meadow, giving some cats allergic reactions. Its name comes from Sneeze + Daisy.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) = Hakma It is said that when StarClan saw the Clans beginning to hate daisies because of the noxious Moon Penny, they devised a plan to create a daisy that would be just as beloved as it was hated. Feverfew, the helpful herb used for treating illness, was one of their gifts.

Pellitory (Achillea ptarmica) = Waso Their other idea was pellitory, which tastes weird, and ShadowClan loved it immediately. It has a sort of minty, numbing, hard-to-describe taste (ever had szechuan pepper? it's like that) which means that it goes RIGHT into the soup when it's found. Pellitory My Beloved.

Mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum) = Bleshma "Waste Daisy." Has no particular use or nice smell. Used mostly by Clerics as a word to distinguish daisies that have no use in medicine, but it's the word that sticks when a Cleric assistant (like Brightheart) is describing various daisies to other cats.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) = Gomgon A VERY high-strength herb, which is eventually discovered to be a very important way to treat severe epilepsy. Toxic to cats otherwise, and can be used as a poison by a skilled Cleric.

Shaggy Soldier (Galinsoga quadriradiata) = Flosk An odd daisy with dozens of tiny flowers where its button should be. Remarked to look like a honeycomb.

I’m drying some pineapple weed flowers. They grow all over my local public park this time of year so I always try to collect some when I go on walks there.

Also known as “wild chamomile”(Matricaria discoidea) it is closely related to conventional chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and has similar culinary uses. The whole plant is edible. The leaves taste nice but they’re really fibrous so they aren’t great in salads unless you really love chewing. It gives off a sweet smell when crushed. The scent is regarded as somewhere between that of pineapple and chamomile, hence the plant's common names.

I’d like to flavor some mead with these.
