Chamomile

Related to the daisy, chamomile is indigenous to regions of Europe and western Asia. One type of the herb, German chamomile, is the type that is most often used as an herbal remedy. Chamomile had been used for centuries to treat many disorders of the gastrointestinal system. Chamomile is still used today.

Chamomile had been used by numerous ancient peoples, including Rome, Greece, and Egypt, who used chamomile to treat many maladies including fevers, stomach pain, and stroke. Chamomile is very popular in Germany, where it is called "the cure-all cure." In America, chamomile is also very commonly used to soothe, relax, and aid sleep. German chamomile is also very commonly used to treat problems like bloating, nausea, or stomach pain.

Other benefits include soothing colds, helping wounds or abscesses heal, reducing gum inflammation, treating skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, and treating ulcerative colitis. Chamomile can also be taken as teas, soaks, or ointments to treat children's maladies like chicken pox, diaper rash, and colic. Generally, chamomile is taken as soon as symptoms manifest themselves. If it is taken for ulcers, heartburn, or other serious problems and symptoms persist, see a professional as soon as possible.

German chamomile consists of 1-2% volatile oils like alpha-bisabolol, alpha-bisabolol oxides A & B, and matricin (usually converted to chamazulene), and other active ingredients like apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin, which are flavonoids. All of these make chamomile effective in treating inflammation, muscle pain, spasms, and as a relaxant.

Dosage and Administration

1-2 milliliters of the glycerate type of German chamomile can be used 1-2 times per day as an antispasmodic or anti-inflammatory. When it's taken for ulcers, stomach disorders, heartburn, or gas, 2-3 grams of German chamomile can be brewed into a tea by steeping in boiling water for 10 minutes. The tea can be taken regularly, up to four times per day.

To soothe lungs in extremely cold temperatures, add a few drops of essential oil to boiling water and breathe deeply.

To treat hemorrhoids, wounds, skin disorders, or insect bites, pour a quarter-pound of dried blossoms into a bath and soak. Or, use alcohol extracts of chamomile in the bath.

Side Effects and Precautions

Chamomile can be used internally or externally, but keep it away from the eyes.
