What are the health benefits of chamomile teas?

As well as a cup of chamomile tea being a joy to drink, this beverage has been associated with a range of health benefits for millennia including those related to heart health, blood pressure and the immune system.

Chamomile tea may help improve healing and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. The ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians drank it to help aid digestion and soothe upset stomachs. Recent studies have helped shore up that historic knowledge, showing that chamomile has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties useful in the treatment of menstrual cramps, gastrointestinal and respiratory tract issues. Chamomile has also been shown to have antimicrobial properties and to be effective in wound healing, and it contains high levels of apigenin, a plant compound known to have cancer-fighting properties. Most famously, of course, chamomile is widely used to help treat stress and anxiety, which is why we recommend a warm cup just before you hit the hay!

Origin

Chamomile tea has been used for thousands of years in many cultures. The exact origins of chamomile tea are unknown, but it has been used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Completely caffeine-free, this popular herbal tea isn't known as 'calming chamomile' for nothing. A delightfully relaxing drink at any time of day, it's best enjoyed in the evening – particularly after a meal. Add a dash of honey, or even a grating of ginger for an extra warming kick, if you like, and ease into its soothing embrace.

Harvested in spring, only the finest chamomile flowers are selected for this luxury tea, which has a delicious mellow sweetness and characteristic hints of apple. (Chamomile's name is rooted in the ancient Greek word meaning 'ground apple'. ) The plant itself is a member of the daisy family and the whole flowers are picked after they bloom, then dried, during which the white petals usually drop away, leaving the familiar fuzzy yellow head seen in high-quality chamomile tisanes.
