I saw many people online calling chamomile the apple fairy. At first, I was quite curious too, but I didn't know why it was called the apple fairy. An apple is a type of fruit, and apples are actually fairly large in size, so chamomile and apples are completely impossible to associate with each other. Why would these two be connected in name?

Although we may not normally have any way to come into contact with chamomile, the most direct way we usually encounter it is that mothers will prepare some chamomile essential oil at home for beauty and skincare, but we rarely see what chamomile actually looks like. And apples?

We see them most commonly in daily life, and some friends even especially like eating apples, maybe eating one apple every day. The appearance of apples really has no connection with chamomile, and the two are not very similar in color either. It was only when I saw pictures online of chamomile after it had dried out that I understood. Perhaps the reason chamomile is called the apple fairy is related to how it looks after drying out.

1. Why is chamomile called the apple fairy? Let me answer that for everyone here. You may not have seen what chamomile looks like after it dries out very often, but actually if we imagine it, we should be able to guess. What does chamomile look like? This is the first question we need to consider. The petals are white, and very thin. There should be more than twenty petals. Although there are quite a lot of petals, unfortunately chamomile is single-layered, so it does not look especially lush.

The biggest characteristic of the chrysanthemum is that its center is larger than most others. For other flowers and plants, the center is generally relatively small and does not look so obvious, because a center that is too obvious affects the overall beauty, so many people may not like the look of chrysanthemums very much. But it still depends on each person's sense of aesthetics, right? I think chamomile looks very nice. The centers of chrysanthemums are basically that kind of golden yellow color, a shining golden look, and they look very warm. And of course, after it withers, its center looks like a small ball shaped like an apple, though this apple is no longer red. This apple is that kind of earthy yellow color, even close to brown. I think this is probably also the reason why chamomile is called the apple fairy.

2. Earlier I answered the question about chamomile's connection with apples, but why is chamomile called a fairy? Does it have some magical effect? Actually, that is indeed the case. Chamomile really does have many benefits, and its benefits are not only reflected in beauty and skincare. Chamomile essential oil can have a very good facial cleansing effect, and at the same time?

Its care for the skin is also very comprehensive. It can supplement moisture for the skin, make the skin smoother and more moisturized, and also effectively remove impurities inside the skin, making our face look whiter and cleaner. Besides beauty and skincare, chamomile actually also has a calming and soothing effect. That is to say, if there are people who easily get angry in daily life, they can choose the scent of chamomile essential oil. Whenever they want to get angry, they can smell it, and perhaps their heart will return to calm.

3. Why do relatively few people actually grow chamomile? This is because chamomile is not the kind of flower that is very easy to grow. Although it is not a plant that is relatively short of water, so you do not need to water it especially frequently in normal times, nor do you need to pay too much attention to watering matters.

However, chamomile needs ventilation and also needs soil with relatively rich fertilizer. In summary, chamomile has quite a lot of requirements, and it is itself very fragile, so it is very easy to raise it and raise it until it dies.
