What is Chamomile?
Chamomile is a yellow-flowered plant that has been used as a popular medicinal herb for thousands of years. There is evidence of chamomile use in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It natively grows in Europe and select parts of Africa and Asia, however it has become a popular crop in North America as well in the past few hundred years.
Along with a host of health benefits, its sweet smell, calming colors, and simple ease of growing and harvesting this incredible plant has made this herb one of the most popular. It can be consumed and enjoyed in many different ways from being turned into a sweet-smelling essential oil or processed into a powder or even pill form. It is most popularly used as an herbal tea throughout the world and is a staple item at most coffee and tea shops, and even restaurants.
How Does Chamomile Provide Stress Support?
Chamomile itself houses 120 components of flavonoids and terpenoids, which have wide-acting benefits that promote wellness and tension relief throughout the entire body. One of its popular claims is that chamomile may help positively impact your sleep or access to sleep. It’s thought that this is because of the presence of the substance, apigenin, which supports sleep wellness by supporting the relaxation of the central nervous system.
Researchers are still refining answers as to why chamomile has the effects that it has, and what the direct relationship is, but it is thought that the compounds found in chamomile greatly help to relieve feelings of tension that can build up throughout the body, especially due to overuse and strain. This could be the contributing factor to why it is considered a herb that supports stress relief and helps people to feel calm.
Chamomile is also purported to help with mental wellness and supports a peaceful mind, making it a comforting choice for anyone experiencing feelings of restlessness or tension. The herb naturally has a sweet taste and aroma when turned into a cup of tea, which is a popular choice to help in stress support.
Chamomile can also be combined with both mint and basil to help improve its aromatherapy effects.
As a supplement, adding chamomile to your evening routine may support the benefits of falling asleep more peacefully.
