Known since antiquity for its beneficial effects on the body, chamomile remains to this day, a small treasure of nature, with a variety of benefits for humans, so much so that it is an herb that we should all always have in our home.
In addition to a wonderful decoction, with a unique taste and aroma, here are 6 different benefits of chamomile:
1. It has a soothing effect on the digestive system. A single cup of hot chamomile tea can relieve indigestion, nausea or other gastrointestinal disorders.
2. It is a natural antidote to insomnia! There is nothing better for a relaxing, peaceful sleep than an evening chamomile tea.
3. Reduces swelling in the eye area. Applying compresses soaked in boiled chamomile and then refrigerated for a few hours can help eliminate swelling and the gradual disappearance of dark circles.
4. It is a tonic for the skin. Adding to a simple chamomile tea, once it has cooled, 2 drops of lavender essential oil, we create a natural face lotion that helps to eliminate redness but also to give the skin radiance and hydration.
5. Chamomile can be used as a hair care product. After the last rinse, chamomile tea can be applied to the hair after it has come to room temperature, making your hair shiny and soft.
6. Helps with colds! Rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, a hot cup with a teaspoon of honey and some mint leaves with the wonderful aroma and the many nutrients stimulates the immune system and has a soothing effect on sniffles and colds.
