Chamomile? That's a new one to me though a quick Google search came up with this:

German chamomile
Renata Kolanos, Szabina A. Stice, in Nutraceuticals (Second Edition), 2021

Abstract
Chamomile has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and remains one of the most popular herbal medicines. It is most often consumed as a herbal tea, but also can be taken orally as drops, capsules, or tablets; applied topically; or inhaled. Chamomile has been used to treat minor gastrointestinal complaints; as well as cold symptoms, minor ulcers, superficial wounds, small boils, inflammation of the mouth, throat, and skin, anxiety, and insomnia, along with other complaints and illnesses. Chamomile’s efficacy is due to its antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antinociceptive, analgesic, anxiolytic, sedative, and antispasmodic properties. The most important constituents contributing to chamomile’s beneficial effects are terpenoids, such as chamazulene and bisabolol; and flavonoids, including apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin.

So, I guess it could work.

Same here- though I seriously doubt that it was ever tested for safety & efficacy with snakes. I suspect this vet's more naturalistic approach is just being applied to snake care without proof from testing or experience (I hope I'm wrong!), & the problem is that snakes are cold-blooded & very different critters than the warm-blooded ones vets typically see.

I DO know that honey is antibacterial though- & has been used for all kinds of infections (& dressings on them).

I wasn't aware of any snakes being allergic to Betadine either, so that's interesting.
