Benefits of Chamomile

Dec 02, 2022
Benefits of Chamomile

Chamomile is a popular beverage and alternative remedy for various health issues. It is an herb from a daisy-like flower and has been used for centuries. Chamomile can be made into a tea or essential oil that can be added to creams and lotions. Generally, people consume chamomile tea for internal health benefits and apply chamomile essential oil topically for skin care.

Many people enjoy the earthy taste of chamomile tea, which is easily made by steeping the dried flowers in hot water. It’s a caffeine-free alternative to coffee and is full of antioxidants. Chamomile has several benefits when consumed or applied topically. We will discuss a few of the reasons you should consider adding chamomile to your routine.

Improve Your Sleep

Chamomile contains an antioxidant called apigenin. This antioxidant has unique properties that may benefit sleep quickly by binding to receptors in your brain to promote sleepiness. Several studies have shown that people experience better sleep quality and fewer symptoms of depression after drinking chamomile tea regularly. Many studies found a noticeable difference when participants drank chamomile tea orĀ consumed chamomile extract before bed for two weeks. If you struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep at night, chamomile might be worth trying for a few weeks.

Better Digestive Health

Poor digestion directly impacts your overall health. There is limited evidence proving the effect of chamomile on digestion, but aĀ few studies in rats have shown reduced diarrhea, stomach acidity, and ulcers. This plant carries anti-inflammatory properties and is stomachic, meaning it aids in appetite and digestion. While there is little scientific evidence to support the value in people, many claim drinking chamomile tea or using chamomile essential oil soothes their stomach.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Drinking chamomile tea may help lowerĀ blood sugar levels. The anti-inflammatory properties prevent cell damage in the pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin that removes sugar from your body and is often damaged by high blood sugar over long periods.Ā 

Skin Care

Chamomile essential oil is a powerful item in your skincare routine. Skin creams and lotions containing chamomile can reduce inflammation from sunburn, rashes, and redness. The anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties gently penetrate the skin barrier to alleviate inflammation, especially for sensitive skin. If you suffer from eczema or sensitive skin, you might add creams and lotions with chamomile essential oil.

It can diminish scars and marks on your skin and face when applied regularly. The anti-bacterial properties also protect wounds, cuts, and bruises from infection. Chamomile also has astringent and brightening properties to treat hyperpigmentation. Skin and sun spots can be significantly reduced by applying diluted chamomile extract regularly.

Can everyone use chamomile?

In general, everyone can use or consume chamomile. If you experience any allergic reaction, discontinue use and contact your doctor. Chamomile can be irritating around sensitive areas like the eyes. Avoid getting too close to your eyes if you use any skin creams, lotions, or cosmetics with chamomile.
