The Effects and Potential Health Benefits
of Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea contains apigenin, an antioxidant with potential anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and sedative effects. Studies suggest that apigenin may bind to receptors in the brain, promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation. Apigenin can relax the digestive tract muscles, potentially alleviating symptoms of indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The anti-inflammatory properties of Apigenin antioxidants may also support the immune system by mitigating inflammation and oxidative stress. Chamomile is one of the oldest known medicinal plants; chamomile belongs to the Asteraceae/Compositae family and is commonly found in two varieties: German chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile).
​
The medicinal properties of Chamomile Tea are derived from the many terpenoids and flavonoids found in its dried flowers, which are used to treat a variety of conditions, including hay fever, inflammation, muscle spasms, menstrual disorders, insomnia, ulcers, wounds, gastrointestinal disorders, rheumatic pain.
