Inflamed skin? Stress? Digestive Upset? Have a Cup of Chamomile

Did you know that chamomile has sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects?

Calming Power

Chamomile is highly known for its sedative or calming effects. This is due to it’s apigenin content. Therefore it’s great to drink a cup or two before bed for insomnia or for anxiety.

Anti-Inflammatory Power

Many studies show that chamomile has a positive effect on inflammatory conditions due to its flavonoid content and it’s therefore used topically and internally as a tea.

Chamomile has been used to treat inflammatory conditions such as eczema, ulcers, gout, and rheumatic pains.

Macrophage cells and cytokines activate immune cells and this inflammation can give rise to illnesses that affect our skin (acne, psoriasis, eczema), digestive tract (think food sensitivities and irritable bowel syndrome), and likelihood of developing cancer.
