Chamomile has many more health benefits, besides promoting your sleep, namely:
1. Anti-inflammatory properties † chamomile is a potent anti-inflammatory and can contribute to a lower risk of intestinal complaints, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, depression and a number of other chronic health complaints.
2. Fewer menstrual cramps † the research is limited, but a number of studies have found that chamomile tea can reduce menstrual cramps. Complaints such as anxiety and tension around menstrual cramps would also decrease.
3. Protection against certain types of cancer † one study found that drinking chamomile tea daily for years is associated with a reduced risk of thyroid cancer. It's too early to say that chamomile tea can help prevent cancer, but research seems to indicate that it may have positive effects.
4. Less stress † Thanks to the tea's calming properties and its ability to combat insomnia, chamomile tea can be a very effective means of combating stress and anxiety. Insomnia and stress go hand in hand. You can use chamomile tea (and its calming scent) as a natural anesthetic in a relaxing bath or massage.
