Functions and Benefits :

I turn to Chamomile for general anxiety, stress-induced insomnia, and any digestive upset accompanied by cramping, gas, or colic. It’s superb for easing muscle tension, including menstrual cramps and tension headaches. Externally, it is an invaluable remedy for soothing inflamed or irritated skin conditions like eczema or mild burns.

Usage guide :

To prepare a medicinal tea, steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried flowers in 8oz of near-boiling water for 10–15 minutes, ensuring the cup is covered to trap the potent anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic volatile oils.

Brewing Method

• Boil Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil (about 205–212°F / 96–100°C).
• Measure Tea: Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea (or 1 tea bag) per 8 oz cup of water.
• Steep: Pour hot water over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5–10 minutes (depending on desired strength).
• Strain & Enjoy: Strain herbs (if loose leaf) and sip warm. Add honey, lemon, or sweetener if desired.

Optional Tips:

• For deeper flavor or stronger herbal benefits, steep longer (up to 15 minutes).

Storage & Safety :

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed container
• Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

Herbalist's Notes

1. "I often refer to Chamomile as the 'mother's hug' of the herb world—it’s just that gentle and reassuring. My favorite application is for that classic presentation of nervous digestion: you know, the stomachache that comes right before a big presentation or a long trip. I find that a strong, hot infusion before bed is unbeatable for settling a 'whiny' nervous system, whether it’s in a toddler or a tense adult."
2. "What I appreciate most is its dual-action. The volatile oils make it a brilliant carminative for expelling gas and easing spasms in the gut, but the presence of apigenin makes it a powerful relaxing nervine that binds to GABA receptors in the brain. It's a textbook example of the gut-brain axis being addressed by a single plant. Don't be shy about external use either; a cooled compress of the infusion is wonderful for inflamed, irritated skin."
3. "The trick to getting the best medicinal results is to cover your cup while steeping. Those beautiful, aromatic oils that give Chamomile its signature apple-like scent are its medicine, and you want to keep them in your tea, not in the air. For a true sedative effect, let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes—a bit more bitter, but far more potent."
