Last updated on 13 DEC 2015

Chamomile tea has been used for over two thousand years, dating back to the ancient Roman Empire. The name actually means Ground Apple. Over the years, chamomile tea has been used medicinally for a variety of reasons, including to help improve sleep, soothe stomach aches, and treat wounds. These benefits are mostly thanks to the inclusion of beneficial flavonoids.

Discover nine of the best health benefits of chamomile tea.

1. Heal Cuts and Wounds

The first use of chamomile tea is to treat cuts and wounds. In fact, this is one of the primary reasons that chamomile was used in ancient medicine. It was often used as a salve for wounds. Recent studies suggest that it works especially well for treating burns.

2. Promote Better Sleep

Drinking chamomile tea can soothe your nervous system, allowing you to get a better night’s rest. Chamomile tea has been used as a treatment for insomnia for many centuries. As your nervous system relaxes, you should find it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

3. Soothes Stomach Aches

Along with soothing your nervous system, chamomile tea is very soothing for your stomach. Consuming chamomile tea will relax muscles and the lining of your intestines, which may help relieve minor stomach discomfort, improve digestion, and treat irritable bowel syndrome.

4. Prevent Diabetes

Chamomile tea has the amazing ability to help improve your digestive process, which may improve your blood sugar levels and lower your blood pressure. These benefits may be able to help reduce your chances of developing type 2 diabetes.

5. Calm Muscle Spasms

The calming of the nervous system and muscles can also help to prevent muscle spasms. If you suffer from regular muscle spasms, try drinking one to two cups of chamomile tea each day. You may want to wait until the afternoon for your first cup as chamomile tea can have a sedative effect.

6. Antibacterial

Drinking chamomile tea can help fight infections and bacteria related illnesses. This makes chamomile tea a suitable treatment for dealing with the common cold.

7. Keep Your Skin Healthy

Thanks to the anti-inflammatory and anti-septic properties of chamomile, you can use the herb to prevent skin irritation related to eczema, acne, and allergic reactions. Drinking chamomile tea should provide the nutrients you need to keep your skin healthy.

8. Hemorrhoid Treatment

Creating a chamomile ointment, by combining dried chamomile with a small amount of coconut oil, can be used to treat hemorrhoids. You may want to check with your doctor before using this treatment, but this solution has been used for hundreds of years to treat hemorrhoids.

9. Fight Cancer

Drinking chamomile tea on a regular basis could help kill cancerous cells. While there is still ongoing research looking at this benefit, there are positive signs that drinking chamomile tea may reverse abnormal cellular growth that leads to cancer.

There are many ways to consume dried chamomile, but tea is probably the most used method. You can easily steep dried chamomile in a cup of boiling water to create your own herbal tea. Just remember to strain the tea before drinking. Add one tablespoon of dried chamomile to one cup of boiling water and steep for five minutes.

How much to drink daily? Depending on your conditions, between 1 and 4 cups a day should do the trick.

If you are ready to take advantage of chamomile tea, then pick up some fresh chamomile and start brewing your tea.
