CHAMOMILLE

A Cup of Chamomile tea isn't just tasty, it's proven to be calming in many ways...
Chamomile is a well-known herb amongst the general population. Its mild, pleasant taste makes it a favourite tea for soothing the digestion and nerves. Chamomile is a sedative, anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic agent that is used for arthritis, insomnia, anxiety, muscle spasms, digestive upsets, diarrhea, headaches and pain. One component of chamomile, azulene, has been shown to decrease the release of histamine and serotonin in tissues.
Serotonin and histamine promote inflammation by attracting immune cells to the area and by increasing the permeability of blood vessels so that more fluid goes into the area.
Chamomile tea or tincture can be gargled to help prevent infection and heal mouth or gum abrasions. It can also be applied topically to wounds, burns and acne for the same purpose. Chamomile has been traditionally used as a tonic for the uterus, specifically to relieve menstrual cramps.
Dried chamomile flowers are commonly made into a tea. Chamomile can also be purchased in capsules or as a tincture. Standardized preparations are available and give the consumer the assurance that the proper plant, and usually, some of an active ingredient is present. Chamomile may be found in formulas for soothing the digestive tract or relaxing the mind and body.
Chamomile is in the same plant family as ragweed therefore individuals with ragweed allergies should not use chamomile. Also, prolonged use of chamomile may lead to sensitization to ragweed. Do not use chamomile while you are pregnant or nursing. Theoretically chamomile may cause drowsiness and should not be taken when performing tasks that require alertness. Theoretically chamomile may increase the effect of sedative medications. Although both of these contraindications have never been proven clinically, caution should be observed.
