Flower is touted as a remedy for intestinal gas, travel sickness, nasal swelling
(inflammation), hayfever, diarrhea, restlessness, sleeplessness, attention
deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), stomach and intestinal disorders, menstrual cramps,
and other conditions. Helps reduce cramps in the intestinal tract. Chamomile is both
edible and medicinal. The flowers are quite tasty in salads or made into a refreshing and
soothing cold or warm beverage. Chamomile flowers are used in alternative medicine as an
anodyne, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, nervine, stomachic, tonic, vasodilatory. The flowers contain various volatile oils including proazulenes. Upon steam distillation these proazulenes produce chamazulene, this is remarkably anti-allergenic and is useful in the treatment of asthma and hay fever. Chamomile is a prolific plant, I used to pick it fresh in my back yard and brew a relaxing tea, it's valued for it's mild seditive qualities. One of the safest medicinal herbs, chamomile is a soothing,
gentle relaxant that has been shown to work for a variety of complaints from stress to
menstrual cramps. Though rare, allergic reactions to chamomile have been reported. These reactions have included bronchial constriction with internal use and allergic skin reactions with topical use. People with allergies to plants of the Asteraceae family (ragweed, aster, and chrysanthemums), as well as mugwort pollen should avoid using chamomile. Chamomile is usually considered to be safe during pregnancy or breast-feeding. There is one case report in which a pregnant woman who took chamomile as an enema had an allergic reaction that led to the death of her newborn. |
