Cape Chamomile (Eriocephalus puctulatus) is a fynbos species commonly found in high-lying mountainous regions of South Africa, in the Northern, Western and Eastern Capes.

The leaves are used in baths for their relaxing and invigorating scent. Used in pillows, the scent is thought to encourage pleasant dreams. In some cultures, the fumes of the burning plant are used to disinfect the house and clear evil spirits.

FYNBOS
Fynbos, which means "fine bush" in Afrikaans, refers to the fine, needle-like leaves of the many fynbos species that grow in this natural shrubland. The Fynbos region occupies a small belt of the Western Cape and part of the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
