BENEFITS OF CHAMOMILE TEA

A soothing fruity flavored tea, chamomile tea helps relax and brings restful sleep. It is also widely used to settle upset tummies. One research study found an increased immunity to bacteria in the volunteer subjects. This may explain why there have been numerous reports that chamomile tea has been effective in fighting colds and viruses.

It has been effective in treating colic, diarrhea and fever in infants and small children. The dosage needs to be approved by the pediatrician. Using a dose that is too strong can have an adverse impact on the child.

No matter what you hope to achieve by drinking chamomile tea, be sure you use a high quality tea and remember that too much of a good thing may not be good for you! You also need to be aware that as an herb from the Aster family, chamomile should be avoided if you have an allergy to ragweed or any plant in the Aster family.
