Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The February edition of TeaMuse, the newsletter from Adagio
Teas has a decent little history of chamomile. Adagio's business is selling tea, so of course they have plenty of good
things to say about chamomile, but, nevertheless, I still found some interesting info. For instance, Roman chamomile
supposedly got it's name because a 19th century botanist found it growing in the Roman Coliseum. Also, the article
cites a study from the Journal of
Agriculture and Food Chemistry showing evidence of chamomile's effectiveness as an anti-inflamatory and ulcer- and
cold-fighter. Of course, those folks were drinking five cups of chamomile tea a day.[Photo: Nick Vagnoni]
