Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

‘Alföldi kamillavirágzat’ is a dried, selected flower from the wild camomile flower (Matricaria chamomilla L.), hand-picked from the saline soils of the Great Hungarian Plain.

The flower of the ‘Alföldi kamillavirágzat’ is strong, aromatic, sweet-smelling, slightly bitter-tasting and, during processing, does not disintegrate, is less powdery and its essential oil preserves better than the herbal medicine made from cultivated camomile.

There are considerably larger quantities — at least 20 % several times more — of α-bisabolol (a component with antiphlogistic and anti-ulcerative effects) in the essential oil of ‘Alföldi kamillavirágzat’ than in cultivated camomile.
