What is good quality chamomile? I'm trying to get the best bang for the buck (aren't we all). Is the chamomile tea that you get at the grocery store good for therapeutic value?
chamomile quality, question?

Chamomile is not tea. Chamomile is used to make a tisane, not tea. This is not a tisane group.
That said, the chamomile that smells strongest is probably the most fresh, and that's what is important. Stick your noise in there and smell it.
If you want the best bang for your buck, plant chamomile and grow it yourself. It's a weed... once it gets started it's hard to get rid of the stuff. It smells nice in the garden and the flowers aren't bad-looking either.
I have no idea if ANY chamomile tea has any therepeutic value, but some people find it relaxing.
