Roman chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been included by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the list of herbs with official treatment value.
Supports sedation, improves sleep quality
Like many other chamomile herbs, chamomile provides a significant amount of Flavonoid compound called Apigenin. This active ingredient has the ability to bind to GABA receptors in the brain, creating a mild sedative effect.
Using chamomile tea in the right dosage will help the nervous system relax, support anxiety reduction and put the body into deep sleep more easily.
Anti-inflammatory, soothing and skin-recovering
Chemical analyses show that chamomile extract contains large amounts of Saponin and Polyphenol. According to reports from the US National Library of Medicine (NCBI), this group of substances has natural antibacterial properties, helping to inhibit the production of inflammatory signals on the epidermis.
When applied to the skin surface, it helps speed up the healing process of damage, quickly soothing red and irritated skin areas.
Reduce spasms, regulate the digestive system
Natural essential oils found in chamomile possess anti-spasmodic properties. When entering the body, these active ingredients act directly, relaxing the smooth muscles of the intestines as well as helping to soothe the stomach lining.
This mechanism is particularly effective in minimizing symptoms of digestive disorders such as bloating, indigestion or abdominal cramps due to stomach cramps.
Dilute mucus, protect the respiratory tract
In some respiratory studies, chamomile is applied as a natural expectorant. The use of warm chamomile water has the effect of breaking down the structure and diluting the mucus accumulated in the upper respiratory tract.
This method helps to instantly soothe the swollen throat mucosa, supporting the treatment of mild cough and common cold symptoms.
Although containing many benign medicinal properties, people with a constitution or a history of allergies to chrysanthemum plants should be careful and should test in small doses before use. In addition, the use of products from chamomile as a long-term treatment requires professional advice.
