Product Overview
Egyptian chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) from Fayoum Governorate is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for pharmaceutical and herbal tea applications. The unique micro-climate of the Fayoum basin — with its warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich alluvial soil fed by the ancient Bahr Youssef canal — produces chamomile flowers with exceptionally high concentrations of apigenin, bisabolol, and chamazulene.
HS Herbs supplies premium whole chamomile flowers and cut-and-sifted grades cultivated under strictly controlled conditions. Our chamomile undergoes multi-stage cleaning, de-stemming, and color-sorting before laboratory testing confirms compliance with European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.) and USP specifications. Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis detailing essential oil content, microbiology counts, and heavy metal levels.
Whether you are sourcing for herbal tea blends, nutraceutical extracts, cosmetic formulations, or traditional medicine preparations, our Fayoum chamomile delivers consistent quality shipment after shipment — backed by ISO 22000, HACCP, FDA registration, and Halal certification.
