Chamomile tea 

(Author: Ana Marija Hanzek, Laura Golubic)

Chamomile - which can also be spelled 'camomile' - is a daisy-like herb renowned in folk and traditional medicine for its health, cosmetic, and nutritional benefits. For centuries, people around the world have turned to chamomile herbal tea as a cure-all for a multitude of physical and emotional health concerns. This herbal tea eases insomnia, boosts your immune system, banishes menstrual cramps and diarrhea and relieving colic in infants.

When used topically, may provide benefits for your skin and scalp! Camomile can soothe insect bites, chicken pox, wounds, burns, bruises, sunburns, rashes, and itchy or inflamed skin, and it is also a popular remedy for stopping the growth of ulcers. This herb is well-known for easing the discomfort of eczema, psoriasis, acne, diaper rash, and other skin irritations, too.

Research has shown that a topical camomile solution is more effective at relieving the itch, pain, and inflammation of skin lesions than topical hydrocortisone (steroid) treatment. The camomile solution provides substantially quicker healing of the lesions, too.

And, why not add camomile tea to your bath? This soothing, spa-like experience can lessen aches and pains (including sciatica and menstrual cramps), reduce swelling, calm itchy or inflamed skin, ease hay fever or sinusitis, and reduce and soothe painful, inflamed hemorrhoids.
