Marcela is a false chamomile, very similar to the genuine Matricaria chamomilla / Matricaria recutita with similar medicinal properties: antiseptic, antibiotic, disinfectant, bactericidal and vermifuge.
Fresh or dried, the heads of the flower are traditionally used as a herbal infusion, very popular for boosting the immune system, anti‐spasmodic cough treatment, fever and cold remedy, digestive stimulant, stomach ache relief, a calming agent to help sleep as well as being used to soothe skin rashes.
