Chamomile is the favorite herb of mothers and grandmothers to make the tea that helps you when you feel tired and want to relax and in other cases as well. But have you ever wondered about the benefits of this herb that has been used since ancient times? Some studies and research have answered this question, and here are the most important benefits of chamomile tea:
Helps with deep sleep and get rid of insomnia: Chamomile tea contains antioxidants that can reduce insomnia and other sleep disorders. According to what was published by the American website (Medical News Today).
For gut health: Although this study was conducted on mice, the results showed that chamomile plays an important role in the health of the digestive system. The anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile extract may be able to protect against diarrhea and stomach upsets.
Relieves stress and anxiety: A cup of chamomile tea can help you relax and reduce anxiety disorders.
Relieve menstrual pain: Several studies have shown that chamomile tea may be able to reduce pain and cramps that occur during menstruation.
Boosts immune system health: Chamomile tea relieves symptoms of colds, and inhaling steam from a bowl of chamomile tea may also help relieve symptoms of nasal congestion.
Helps lower blood sugar: For people with diabetes, regulating blood sugar levels can be a matter of life or death. Although chamomile will not replace medications, it is believed that it can prevent an increase in blood sugar. According to what was published by the American website (Eco Watch).
Heart health: Thanks to its mercaptans such as flavonoids, chamomile helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Despite its multiple benefits, it is advised to consult a doctor before adopting it as a treatment alternative if you suffer from hormonal problems or certain diseases.
