Chamomile is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa and is a popular herb known for its calming and soothing properties. Some potential benefits of chamomile include:

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Chamomile is well-known for its calming effects on the nervous system. It contains compounds such as apigenin and bisabolol that have been shown to have sedative properties, promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety. Chamomile tea may be consumed before bedtime to help improve sleep quality and induce feelings of tranquility.

Digestive Health: Chamomile has been used for centuries to alleviate digestive discomfort and promote gastrointestinal health. It has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties that can help soothe the digestive tract, reduce gas, bloating, and cramping, and relieve symptoms of indigestion, acid reflux, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Drinking chamomile tea after meals may aid in digestion and promote overall digestive wellness.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: Chamomile contains powerful antioxidants, such as flavonoids and terpenoids, that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Regular consumption of chamomile tea may help support immune function and promote healthy aging by combating free radical damage.

Skin and Hair Care: Chamomile has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties that can help alleviate skin irritation, inflammation, and redness associated with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and sunburn. 

Directions: add one teaspoon of chamomile to hot water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy.  

FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
