The Manzanilla plant, as it is known in Cuba, is what is commonly called Chamomile. It is one of the species found in the daisy family of plants. The beautiful flower heads, when dried are used to make Chamomile Tea.
The benefits of drinking Chamomile Tea to improve relaxation and sleep quality are well known. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Manzanilla is often used in Cuba for gastrointestinal disorders and even eye infections.
Chamomile/Manzanilla can also be used in your spiritual practice for spells, baths, and rituals. It is said to attract abundance, prosperity, good fortune and even love!
With more than a million cups of Chamomile/Manzanilla Tea consumed around the world on a daily basis, it appears that our Cuban ancestors were on to something.
