At dahil cold season na naman back to my favorite afternoon chamomile tea with Goji berries.
The benefits of German chamomile flowers:
🌿Promotes Relaxation & Sleep
• Contains apigenin, a natural compound that binds to GABA receptors in the brain — helping reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.
• Commonly used in herbal teas as a gentle, natural sleep aid.
🌿Soothes Digestive Discomfort
• Traditionally used to relieve indigestion, gas, bloating, and colic.
• Has anti-spasmodic properties that help relax the smooth muscles of the gut.
• May ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and mild stomach cramps.
🌿Anti-Inflammatory & Skin Healing
• When used topically (in creams or compresses), it can help soothe eczema, rashes, burns, and insect bites.
• Chamomile extract contains compounds that reduce inflammation and support skin healing.
🌿Supports Oral & Eye Health
• Chamomile mouthwash can reduce gum inflammation and mouth ulcers.
• Eye compresses made with cooled chamomile tea may help soothe tired or irritated eyes (though care should be taken to avoid allergic reactions).
🌿 Antioxidant Properties
•Rich in flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercetin) that protect cells from oxidative stress.
•May help reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with inflammation and free radical damage.
🌿Women’s Health Benefits
•Traditionally used for menstrual cramps and mild PMS symptoms, due to its relaxing and anti-spasmodic effects.
