Not a recipe, but period... Luis Lobera de Avila, author of a 16th century 
Spanish health manual, lists chamomile as one of the herbs and flowers 
that are put into bath water.  (The others include roses, violets thyme, 
sweet clover, and lavender)  He does not mention any medicinal value to 
these, so I would guess that they are used purely for scenting the water.
