Chamomile
What is it?
Chamomile is a herb which comes from the dried daisy-like flowers of the Matricaria Recuttia plant. The healing properties of the herb are related in part to its volatile oils, which contain a compound called apigenin.
What does it do?
Its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and infection-fighting effects can benefit the whole body. When taken internally it calms digestive upsets, relieves cramps and relaxes the nerves. It also works externally on the skin and the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes, relieving rashes, sores and inflammation.
Common Uses
Promotes general relaxation and relieves anxiety, alleviates insomnia, heals mouth sores and treats gum disease, soothes skin rashes and burns, eases menstrual cramps, treats bowel inflammation, digestive upset and indigestion.
Dosage
Drink up to 3 cups of Chamomile tea a day. For the skin: Add a few drops of Chamomile oil to 3 teaspoons of Almond oil (or another neural oil).
