What is Camomile (Chamomile) tea?

Camomile (or Chamomile) tea is a popular herbal tea made from the dried flowers of the Matricaria chamomilla or Chamaemelum nobile plants. This caffeine-free beverage has a mild, sweet flavour and is known for its calming, soothing effects.

Production

Chamomile tea is produced by harvesting the flower heads of the camomile plant and drying them in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Once the flowers are dry, they are either used whole or ground into a fine powder to be used in tea bags or loose-leaf tea blends.

Health Benefits

Camomile is known for its various health benefits, including:

  • Promoting relaxation and sleep
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Aiding digestion
  • Relieving menstrual pain
  • Alleviating symptoms of the common cold

It is important to note that more research is needed to confirm these benefits, and individual results may vary.

Can I add sweeteners or flavours?

You can add sweeteners like honey, sugar, or stevia to your chamomile tea and other flavours like lemon, mint, or ginger. Experiment with different combinations to find your preferred taste.

Can I drink Camomile while pregnant or breastfeeding?

While chamomile is generally considered safe, it is best to consult your healthcare professional before consuming it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as some sources suggest it may have mild uterine-stimulating effects.

Is Camomile safe for children to drink?

Chamomile is generally considered safe for children, but it is important to consult your paediatrician before giving it to your child, especially if they are under the age of 5 or have a history of allergies to plants in the Daisy family.

Are there any side effects if drinking Camomile tea?

Camomile is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort. If you are allergic to plants in the Daisy family or taking blood-thinning medications, consult your healthcare professional before consuming Camomile (Chamomile) tea.
