     Herbalists use chamomile in various forms including tea, poultices, and salves. Chamomile is commonly used to alleviate anxiety, stress, and insomnia due to its natural sedative properties. It is also used as a natural remedy for digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, and acid reflux. chamomile's anti-inflammatory properties can make it an effective treatment for skin irritation, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions.  In fact, It’s one of the ingredients in our Comfrey Cream!


     Chamomile is also a rich source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from free radicals and oxidative stress. This makes chamomile an excellent addition to any diet for its overall health benefits. 


     While it is a generally safe and effective herb to use for the entire family, it has been known to cause a reaction in people who have ragweed allergies.  When in doubt, test it out!  Try a small cup of tea and check for any reaction.
