Chamomile Herb 200 g

Chamomile in Herbal Medicine Since Antiquity

Chamomile is one of the oldest herbs that has gained recognition in herbal medicine. This is due to its remarkable and versatile properties. In nature, it occurs as a plant that produces many small flowers, characterized by white petals and a yellow center. It is most commonly found on fallow fields, meadows, in grain fields, on roadsides, at forest edges, and even in gardens.

Similar Plants

If you want to collect chamomile, you should know that there are many similar species, but they do not have the same properties. For example, the scentless mayweed or the anaerobic marigold are almost identical in appearance. The ability to distinguish these flowers is especially important for herbalists. Chamomile is characterized primarily by its hollow receptacle in the center and emits a pleasant scent when rubbed in the palms of the hands. Neither the scentless mayweed nor the odorless marigold have these characteristics.

What is contained in chamomile?

The presence of flavonoids, anti-allergic substances, phytosterols, catechin tannins, polyacetylenes, choline, coumarin compounds, and mineral salts also speaks for the use of chamomile.

Regular Use of Chamomile - Benefits

With regular use of chamomile, many health problems can be alleviated. Compresses made from its flowers are valuable because they excellently accelerate wound healing and also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Chamomile also relaxes smooth muscles and stimulates digestion. Therefore, this plant is valuable, among other things, for all gastrointestinal complaints such as constipation or bloating. Furthermore, it also alleviates the symptoms of inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes. It is worth knowing that an infusion of chamomile is an excellent remedy for all kinds of bacterial diseases in the mouth.

Beneficial for the Digestive System

Due to the high content of flavonoids and coumarin derivatives, chamomile is excellent for counteracting and neutralizing digestive discomfort. It supports intestinal activity and stimulates bile flow. It is recommended to drink a glass of chamomile tea after consuming a hard-to-digest meal. Importantly, this measure does not cause further discomfort, as chamomile prevents stomach hyperacidity and reduces gastric juice secretion.

For Skin Problems

Allergies can be combated with natural means. More precisely, with chamomile compresses. This herb has antihistamine properties, thereby alleviating allergic symptoms. It is also characterized by its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, which contribute to faster regeneration of skin tissue. For this reason, chamomile compresses are very useful in relieving burns and ulcers.

Use in Cosmetics

The properties of chamomile are extremely versatile, as its broad use in the cosmetics industry proves. It has the ability to lighten hair and is therefore ideal for the care of blonde and dull hair.

Contraindications

Paradoxically, one of the main contraindications is its use in people prone to skin allergies. Despite the presence of chamazulene, which has an anti-allergic effect, careful observation is required when using compresses. Additionally, a doctor should always be consulted when using chamomile and medications simultaneously. The herb can weaken or enhance the effect of some medicines.

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile is an ideal supplement to the daily diet, primarily due to its richness in vitamins and minerals. It supports the function of the entire digestive system. The easiest way is to serve it as an infusion, which is very simple to prepare. It is enough to put a measured portion of the dried herb into a glass, pour boiling water over it, and let it steep covered for 10 minutes. For a chamomile compress, pour hot water over the dried chamomile and immediately wrap it in gauze or linen.
