Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). Chamomile can be taken internally as tea for minor digestive problems. Chamomile can be used as an aromatic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, carminative (digestive aid), and de-stressing nervine. Externally it has been used in hair wash, hair dyes, and for sore skin or eczema. Chamomile is probably the most well-known plant used as a nervine tonic, helping to relieve stress and tension. An essential oil made from the chamomile flowers has been used to help cure diaper rash in newborns. Growing tips from Heather Rhoades of Gardening Know How blog: Plant the chamomile (seeds or cuttings) in the spring. You can grow chamomile in places that have partial shade to full sun. Chamomile does not need a lot of water, so the soil should be mostly dry.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis). This flower has anti-inflammatory properties and triterpenoid compounds, which inhibit bacteria. Calendula also has antispasmodic, astringent, antiseptic, and detoxifying properties. Ingested, it helps stomach ailments such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, regional ileitis, and colitis. It can also be extremely cleansing for the liver. You can use the flowers in tea, oil infusions, or salves to help with internal and external ailments. Growing tips from staff horticulturalists Blake Burger: Calendula can be started indoors in the spring rather easily. Start inside 6 weeks before the last frost and make sure to provide a sunny location for the seedlings to thrive. Plant in full sun after the danger of frost has subsided. To encourage growth throughout the season, fertilize and deadhead.
