If you are using chamomile tea bags, keep them after making the infusion. They are a wonderful refreshing mask for tired eyes.

For all you blondes out there, camomille is good for your hair. I have used it for years as an after shampoo rinse. It's great.

You are right, Bunch. My mother used to have my hair rinsed with a chamomille infusion to highlight the colour. This was many years ago.... Possibly people use some chemical product nowadays, although I have seen commercial shampoos for blondes which contain chamomille.

P.S. Wonderful eyedrops with chamomille and thyme from Italy: "Gocce occulari Care for you" available at supermarkets. A great buy
