Chamomile Tea - Calming and relaxing Tea
Chamomile tea has a reputation of being a relaxing and calming
drink. Historically it has also been used to calm an upset
stomach. Chamomile tea may reduce a wide range of health
problems, including colds and menstrual cramps.
It was first used by ancient Egyptians, Chamomile (Matricaria
Recutita) has daisy-like flowers and a long and storied history
as a gentle, soothing herb. Chamomile was so popular in
traditional German herbalism, and it was known as alles
zutraut,(meaning capable of anything). It has always been one of
the world's favorite teas, due to its pleasing sweet apple
aroma. In addition, chamomile fragrance makes a pleasant
addition to potpourris and aromatic dried flower arrangements.
Cosmetically, Chamomile makes a wonderfully soothing bath, a
penetrating facial, and it can be used to bring golden
highlights to brown hair.
It is good for teething, diarrhea, stomach cramps and middle ear
symptoms. It is also a great sleep aid for adult and child.
Researchers have found new facts, drinking the tea was
associated with an increase in urinary levels of glycine, an
amino acid that has been shown to relieve muscle spasms. Glycine
also is known to act as a nerve relaxant, which may also explain
why the tea seems to act as a mild sedative, the scientists
note. This may explain why the tea appears to be helpful in
relieving menstrual cramps in women, probably by relaxing the
uterus, say the researchers.
