Health Benefits

Protection:The "Chamomile: A herbal medicine of the past with bright future" article assesses chamomile's health-promoting benefits, including its antioxidant properties. These are crucial in protecting our bodies from oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The study involved volunteers who drank chamomile tea daily, showing significant findings in bodily antioxidant markers. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2995283/)
Sleep: Chamomile tea's benefits extend to improving sleep quality and promoting relaxation. A comprehensive study mentions its historical usage for these purposes, supported by modern research that validates its effectiveness in enhancing sleep and inducing relaxation, making it a popular night-time beverage. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9611340/)
Digestion: Consuming chamomile tea has been linked to digestive health improvements. The "A review of the bioactivity and potential health benefits of chamomile" study discusses how chamomile's anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties can alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort, help with digestive disorders, and may even offer benefits in managing conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16628544/).
Mind: Chamomile tea is widely recognised for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and antidepressant properties. This is attributed to its flavonoid content, which plays a significant role in calming effects. A study highlighted in "A Comprehensive Study of Therapeutic Applications of Chamomile" outlines these benefits, emphasising its use in helping to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9611340/).

FAQ's

Well, both can be used. Camomile is the old English spelling that we tend to use most. Chamomile with the 'h' is derived from the Greek word Khamaimelon and was historically used because camomile flowers have an aroma similar to apples.

While camomile is generally considered safe, it is best to consult your healthcare professional before consuming it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as some sources suggest it may have mild uterine-stimulating effects.

Chamomile is generally considered safe for children, but it is important to consult your paediatrician before giving it to your child, especially if they are under the age of 5 or have a history of allergies to plants in the Daisy family.

Camomile is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort. If you are allergic to plants in the Daisy family or taking blood-thinning medications, consult your healthcare professional before consuming Camomile (Chamomile) tea.
