The flowers of the chamomile are tonic, slightly anodyne, auti-spasmodic, and emetic.

They are used externally as fomenta-tions, in colic, face-ache, and tumours, and to unhealthy ulcers.

They are used internally in the form of infusion, with carbonate of soda; ginger, and other stomachic remedies; in dyspepsia, flatulent colic, debility following dysentery, and gout.

Warm infusion of the flowers acts as an emetic; and the powdered flowers are sometimes combined with opium or kino, and given in intermittent fevers. Dose, of the powdered flowers, from ten grains to one drachm, twice or thrice a-day; of the infusion, from one to two ounces, as a tonic, three times a-day; and from six ounces to one pint, as an emetic; of the extract, from five to twenty grains.
