The Health Benefits Of Chamomile Tea In Natural Cures
Author: Teasy Teas
The chamomile is a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Typically blooms from May to
September and it has many properties useful to guarantee beneficial effects on human health. The
most common forms are the German and Roman. Chamomile tea is also well known for its sedative
properties, which are attributed to the presence of flavonoids. In addition, the chamomile
manages to be protective for the stomach, because it also has anti-inflammatory. Therefore, it is
a perfect remedy for those who have stomach discomfort, indigestion and women who suffer from
menstrual pain. Chamomile is also recognized for its spasmolytic and antioxidant properties. Let's
find out more.
The enormous health properties of chamomile tea are due to the active ingredients of which it is
particularly rich. Specifically, it is composed of hydrophilic and other lipophilic elements. Among
the former, we can mention the flavonoids, coumarins and phenolic acids: all possess spasmolytic,
sedative and anti-oxidants features.

2. One of the lipophilic components, we can recall the terpenes and AZULENES and from these
components is formed the chamomile oil, which is essential for its antiseptic, soothing and anti-inflammatory
effects. It is also used in the sense for the benefit of infants and children's health.
Chamomile in the form of infusion cannot be attributed soothing properties, because the water
cannot be considered a suitable solvent to extract typical substances as AZULENES. The infusion
is more appropriate to develop the sedative properties of the plant. That's why a cup of
chamomile tea is considered very helpful in treating disorders such as insomnia and anxiety.
The beneficial effects
The beneficial effects of chamomile tea are many. The plant is used in many gynecological
disorders, such as inflammation and dysmenorrhea. It can be used to alleviate stomatitis,
dermatitis and issues related to mucous membranes. In cosmetics, it is used as a substance that
can increase your hair growth.
In the form of infusion, chamomile is known for its sedative and tranquilizer qualities. All this
determines a soothing effect mainly important. Indeed, chamomile can also be applied topically to
treat conjunctivitis.
If we drink it in the form of herbal tea, combined with gentian roots and valerian, can serve to
counteract the states of weakness. We need 60 grams of chamomile flowers, 20 grams of gentian
root and 120 grams of the valerian. Everything should be put in infusion in a boiling cup of water
for a few minutes, then drink this tea half in the morning and half in the evening, after having
faced a busy day and maybe particularly stressful.

3. If you suffer from conjunctivitis, we can accelerate the healing process and relieve symptoms with
warm compresses of chamomile. However If yours is rather an aesthetic problem, such as the
classic puffy eyes in the morning, we can use the bags of chamomile used with filters and apply
well chilled (preferably out of the fridge) on the eyes.
How to store chamomile teas?
Chamomile are gathered as soon as the flowers open, preferably in the morning; after which they
are left to dry in a shaded and ventilated. Once dried, should be passed through a sieve to
remove impurities and stored in sealed jars, preferably hermetically sealed, stored in a dark place
and not humid.
