Camomile or Chamomile?

Regarding its spelling, "Camomile" and "Chamomile" are both correct. The former is a traditional English variant, while the latter draws from the Greek "Khamaimelon," referencing the apple-like scent of the blossoms.

What exactly is Camomile (Chamomile) tea?

This tea is crafted from the dried blooms of either the Matricaria chamomilla or Chamaemelum nobile, offering a lightly sweet, herbal flavour and is known for its caffeine-free, relaxing properties.

Production Process

The production involves collecting the flower heads from the camomile plant and drying them under shade to maintain their properties. These dried flowers are then ready for use whole or ground for inclusion in tea bags or as part of loose-leaf tea formulations.

Health Benefits

Camomile may aid in:

• Enhancing sleep and relaxation
• Reducing inflammation
• Supporting digestive health
• Easing menstrual discomfort
• Reducing common cold symptoms

However, these benefits need more scientific support, and effects can vary by individual.

Pregnancy & Children

If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare provider before drinking camomile tea due to potential uterine-stimulating properties. While typically safe for children, it's recommended to check with a paediatrician before introducing camomile tea, particularly for those under five or with plant-related allergies.

Side Effects

While adverse reactions are rare, chamomile tea might cause allergy symptoms or digestive issues for some. It’s advised for individuals allergic to Daisy family plants or those on blood-thinners to consult health professionals before consumption.
