Chamomile Tea

Taking Notes from Nature...

I am sitting right now sipping some chamomile tea and wished everyone else could be doing the same thing because it is so relaxing.  I am curious to research a little about the herb and here are my discoveries:

Chamomile tea is an herb that comes from the daisy flower.  For many years chamomile tea was a "cure-all" from sickness to stress.  Recent studies have found that it can also relieve menstrual cramps.  Some doctors say it helps relieve stomach ulcers and sleep disorders, like insomnia.  The health benefits of chamomile do not stop here, in fact it is a treatment for irritated skin, such as, eczema, chickenpox, diaper rashes, etc.  Chamomile helps with muscle spasms and anxiety.  So if you're feeling a little anxious in a social situation try a cup of chamomile tea instead of that can of beer... just be careful you might be so relaxed you'll fall asleep ;).
