I enjoy sipping on chamomile tea before bed - I find it to be rather soothing. While this extraordinary herb is best known to soothe your nerves and promote better sleep, it has many other health benefits too. It has long been used as a natural remedy to treat a number of conditions including an upset stomach, tension, sleep deprivation, mouth ulcers and skin aggravations. In addition, clinical studies led by the University of Toyama in Japan discovered that drinking chamomile tea may also help keep diabetes under control.
How to prepare chamomile tea
Chamomile, a natural remedy, was a popular choice of tea throughout the Roman Empire, in ancient Greece and ancient Egypt. It is especially prized for its flavonoid, chrysin.
To prepare one glass of tea heat up 10 ounces of water. Measure two tablespoons of dried chamomile blooms (or 4 tablespoons of crisp chamomile blossoms for every 8 ounces of boiled water). Once the water has reached boiling point, steep the chamomile blooms in the water for 5 minutes. Then place a strainer on top of a mug and pour.
Here are 10 marvelous health benefits of chamomile tea:





One of chamomile's health benefits lies in its ability to alleviate symptoms associated with an upset stomach. Chamomile helps soothe and relax the muscles and lining of the intestines. It can also help poor digestion, and provides a beneficial natural remedy for those who suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).





Chamomile tea may also be used regularly to lighten your hair, over a period of time. You can use it as a final hair rinse to add a golden sheen to brown hair. And it helps brighten up blond hair, instantly.
