Prof. Benjamin Murphy, Ph.D.Chamomile tea offers numerous wellness benefits through its natural compounds, which interact with the body. This herbal infusion provides various health benefits without caffeine. Many people drink it daily for its gentle but effective benefits. I have been recommending it to clients for many years, and all have provided me with consistent positive feedback.
Apigenin in chamomile creates a calming effect on your nervous system through GABA receptor activity. This reduces anxiety and provides relaxation. Regular use achieves a calming effect that many people find beneficial. I recommend using it before stressful events or before bed.
The digestive comfort is enhanced as chamomile relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. This helps with occasional bloating and discomfort after meals. The tea works gently without having the strong effects of herbal laxatives. For maximum benefit, consume warm food about thirty minutes after eating.
