Description
Roman Chamomile has been discontinued by Herbalist & Alchemist as a simple extract due to sourcing difficulties. Locating a consistent, reliable grower of this low volume herb to meet our strict sustainability requirements and quality standards has become a challenge. As with any situation where we reformulate or present alternatives, it depends on why someone is taking an herb, as herbs can have multiple activities.
