Chamomile Powder

Both contain the same active plant compounds. The powder mixes evenly through wet or dry feed and is easier to measure for very precise dosing, which suits horses on managed rations. The whole flowers offer more foraging interest and slower eating, which suits horses that enjoy chewing variety in their feed.

Yes. A small amount mixed with warm (not boiling) water and allowed to cool is a popular way to release more of the volatile aromatic oils before mixing into a damp feed. This also helps the powder bind to the feed and reduces dust.

Chamomile is described as a mild settling herb rather than a sedative. At normal feeding rates it should help take the edge off tension without affecting energy, willingness or sharpness. If your horse seems unusually flat, simply reduce the dose.

Yes. Chamomile and liquorice are commonly fed together as part of a "calm gut" routine, since chamomile supports the nervous system and liquorice supports the gastric lining. Introduce them one at a time so you can judge response.

Some owners notice a difference in tense or fizzy horses within a week, but the more reliable approach is to allow 3 to 4 weeks of consistent daily feeding before judging the effect. Chamomile builds steady support rather than acting as an instant calmer.

They are closely related but different plants. German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is the variety most extensively used for internal feeding in horses and people, and is the one used in this product. Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is more commonly used in essential oils and topical preparations.
