Description
Chamomile is a flowering plant that is known for its many uses in herbal medicine. Chamomile flowers are used to treat a variety of issues, such as a sore stomach, irritable bowel syndrome, and insomnia. Chamomile can also be used as a natural laxative.
Dried chamomile flowers are wonderful to use because of their gentle effectiveness. Chamomile's seemingly endless list of uses makes it the first herb of choice for many home remedies.
Drunk as a tea, chamomile is soothing and great before bedtime to promote a restful sleep. It is extremely gentle and suitable even for young children. Chamomile tea is also used to treat sore stomachs.
In skincare chamomile is anti inflammatory, calming sensitive skin and soothing irritation and redness. A botanical infusion can be made, similar to a tea, preserved and used in the aqueous phase of formulations.
We love chamomile flowers because they are a wonderfully soothing tea before bedtime, as well as great for sensitive skin types.
