11 Incredible Other Uses For Chamomile

11 Incredible Other Uses For Chamomile

1. Deep Sleep Support (Obvious)

Because chamomile is known for its calming effect on the nervous system, drinking a warm cup of chamomile tea before bed can greatly improve your evening routine. Additionally, drinking warm tea prior to bedtime can raise body temperature and cause sleepiness.

2. Organic Digestive Aid

When we were infants, my mother would put diluted chamomile tea in our bottles to aid in digestion. It turns out that adults can also benefit greatly from this, with the exception of the bottle. Bisabolol, the active ingredient in chamomile, has anti-inflammatory properties and relaxes the digestive tract’s smooth muscle lining. For stomach pain, drink chamomile tea after meals. While brewing, cover the tea to prevent the steam from destroying many of its active ingredients.

3. Dark Eye Treatment

The natural circulation boosters in chamomile can help lighten dark circles under the eyes. It can also soothe eyes that are tired, irritated, or puffy. Simply apply cool compresses to your eyes made of brewed and chilled chamomile tea bags.

4. Relaxing Oral Rinse

Chamomile has mitigating properties and can assist with relieving mouth ulcers, infection, or bothered gums. Make a cup of chamomile tea, let it cool, and then use it to clean your mouth. Simple.

5. Super Skin Repair

Chamomile is a natural moisturizer that delivers antioxidants to the skin’s deeper layers, where they can assist in repairing and preventing damage caused by free radicals. I made this at home with fresh chamomile buds, and holy cow, I love it! note: You can order fresh chamomile from Brook & Barrel Farms if you don’t have any growing in your yard.

6. Organic Hair Highlighter

One of the most popular ingredients for brightening blond hair is chamomile! In fact, the main ingredient in top line brighteners is chamomile. By saving the chamomile tea bag for the next time you make a cup, you can reap the benefits of chamomile without having to look for specific products. Squeeze the tea bag through your hair after shampooing, rewet it, and then rinse and condition as usual. The chamomile usually goes through my hair several times after I squeeze it. After shampooing, when I really needed a quick fix for my blond hair, I’ve also poured hot chamomile tea over my head and let it cool. In between salon appointments, it’s a great treatment!

Place a washcloth that has been soaked in the tea over acne scars (make sure your face has just been washed). Leave washcloth on face for Ten to fifteen minutes and then remove. do this twice a day for fast results.
