The Benefits of Chamomile
Certainly, at one time or another you’ve had the opportunity to drink
a cup of chamomile tea before going to bed. This herb has been effective
in treating insomnia, and also soothes and calms at the same time.
Chamomilla, the plant that spawns the chamomile flower, is found
throughout North America and Europe. The oil that gives chamomile its
medicinal qualities is called chamazulene alpha-bisabol. The strain of
chamomile with the highest concentration of this oil is the German
chamomole, called matricaria recuitita. Chamomile tea is specifically
made from this oil.
Chamomile is used primarily to treat stomach cramping and pains,
including menstrual cramping and diarrhea. Aside from the treatment of
aches and pains, doctors and researchers have found that chamomile can
be used effectively to treat skin and eye problems, mood disorders, and
the flu
For stomach pains, take one ounce of chamomile, two-thirds ounce of
peppermint, one ounce caraway seeds, and two-thirds ounce of angelica.
Mix together, and add one teaspoon of mixture to one cup of hot water.
Steep this for ten minutes; then strain and drink. This mixture soothes
the gastrointestinal tract.
For skin conditions, take one ounce chamomile, one ounce dandelion, and
two-thirds ounce of fennel. Mix together; add one teaspoon to one cup
hot water. Steep this for five to ten minutes then strain and drink.
This stimulates the metabolic activity in healing skin conditions.
Chamomile is mild enough for everyday use, and almost everyone can enjoy
it. The only people who shouldn’t use it are those who suffer from
ragweed allergies.
