Abstract

With this literature review we want to contribute to the use and diversification of chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla L., which is an aromatic herb with multiple uses and widespread. This plant is not demanding with respect to the quality of the soils, and is a plastic species that adapts to various climates. In Nicaragua it is part of the traditional ethnobotany of the country. Among the potential uses of the species are its medicinal use for its properties: anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, antiulcer, carminative, digestive, bactericidal, fungicidal and mild sedative. For cosmetics such as shampoo or hair rinse or in creams to soften and regenerate the skin. And also as an ecological insecticide.
