Benefits
Commonly used to make herb infusions to serve various medicinal
purposes. Popular uses of chamomile preparations include treating
hay fever, inflammation, muscle spasms, menstrual disorders,
insomnia, ulcers, gastrointestinal disorders, and haemorrhoids.
Camomile tea is also used to treat skin conditions such as eczema,
chickenpox and psoriasis.
Chamomile has been used for centuries in teas as a mild, relaxing
sleep aid, treatment for fevers, colds, stomach ailments, and as an
anti-inflammatory, to name only a few therapeutic uses. Chamomile
may be used internally or externally. Extensive scientific research
over the past 20 years has confirmed many of the traditional uses
for the plant and established pharmacological mechanisms for the
plant's therapeutic activity, including antipeptic, antispasmodic,
antipyretic, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-allergenic
activity.
Recent and on-going research has identified chamomiles specific
anti-inflammatory,anti-bacterial, muscle relaxant, antispasmodic,
anti-allergenic and sedative properties, validating its long-held
reputation. This attention appears to have increased the popularity
of the herb and nowadays Chamomile is included as a drug in the
pharmacopoeia of 26 countries.
Specifically,
chamomile may:
- As a tea, be used for lumbago, rheumatic problems and rashes.
- As a salve, be used for hemorrhoids and wounds.
- As a vapor, be used to alleviate cold symptoms or asthma.
- Relieve restlessness, teething problems, and colic in
children.
- Relieve allergies, much as an antihistamine would.
- Aid in digestion when taken as a tea after meals.
- Relieve morning sickness during pregnancy.
- Speed healing of skin ulcers, wounds, or burns.
- Treat gastritis and ulcerative colitis.
- Reduce inflammation and facilitate bowel movement without
acting directly as a purgative.
- Be used as a wash or compress for skin problems and
inflammations, including inflammations of mucous tissue.
- Promote general relaxation and relieve stress. Animal studies
show that chamomile contains substances that act on the same
parts of the brain and nervous system as anti-anxiety drugs.
Never stop taking prescription medications, however, without
consulting your doctor.
- Control insomnia. Chamomiles mildly sedating and
muscle-relaxing effects may help those who suffer from insomnia
to fall asleep more easily.
- Treat diverticular disease, irritable bowel problems and
various gastrointestinal complaints. Chamomiles reported
anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic actions relax the smooth
muscles lining the stomach and intestine. The herb may therefore
help to relieve nausea, heartburn, and stress-related flatulence.
It may also be useful in the treatment of diverticular disorders
and inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease.
- Soothe skin rashes (including eczema), minor burns and
sunburn. Used as a lotion or added in oil form to a cool bath,
chamomile may ease the itching of eczema and other rashes and
reduces skin inflammation. It may also speed healing and prevent
bacterial infection.
- Treat eye inflammation and infection. Cooled chamomile tea
can be used in a compress to help soothe tired, irritated eyes
and it may even help treat conjunctivitis.
- Heal mouth sores and prevent gum disease. A chamomile
mouthwash may help soothe mouth inflammations and keep gums
healthy.
- Reduce menstrual cramps. Chamomiles believed ability to relax
the smooth muscles of the uterus helps ease the discomfort of
menstrual cramping.
Chamomile
Essential Oil
Chamomile oil is an essential oil extracted from the chamomile
flower.
Chamomile essential oil is extracted from the blossom (flowers) of
the plant. To extract oil from the plants, most manufacturers use
steam distillation. The flowers are placed in a still, where hot
steam is then applied. The steam — which must be hot enough to
penetrate the plant without burning it — forces the essential oil
out of the plant so it can be collected independently. The amount
of oil each plant yields depends on the variety - fresh Roman
chamomile flowers tend to yield 1.7% essential oil, while German
chamomile flowers yield only 0.20.4% essential oil.
Relaxation
The oil serves many medicinal purposes, but one of the
best-documented uses is for relaxation. The oil has a calming
effect on people, and can be used to help induce sleep, ease frayed
nerves, and promote a general sense of calmness and well being. It
is great for those with nervousness or anxiety problems. Aside from
having mental calming properties, chamomile is also good at
relaxing sore muscles and tight joints. It can ease menstrual
cramps and back aches, as well as relax the digestive system to
ease upset stomach or indigestion issues. When applied topically to
the skin, it soothes redness and irritation. For this reason, it is
a common ingredient in skincare. It also eliminates itchiness and
is good for those with allergic reactions. Sometimes chamomile is
used on rashes. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it can
work to take down swelling caused by rashes or skin irritants.
Finally, the oil has antibacterial properties and can help to clean
and protect wounds from infections. It is commonly used as an
all-natural remedy for dental abscesses, conjunctivitis, and other
infections.
Consumption
There are a wide variety of ways in which chamomile essential oil
can be ingested or applied on the body, depending on the reason the
product is being used. For example, the oil can either be applied
topically—when dealing with skin problems, or ingested orally—for
upset stomach or other gastrointestinal issues. To ingest the oil,
it should be diluted into water, as only a small amount is highly
potent. One to two drops in a glass of water should be sufficient
for using as a mouthwash or ingesting for stomach problems. To use
in a bath as an aromatherapy agent and muscle relaxant, less than
10 drops should still be sufficient.
The scent of the essential oil can be inhaled as a form of
aromatherapy. The oil can be vaporized for aromatherapy use. This
method works well to soothe nerves and headaches. It can be blended
with another oil, such as such as sesame, mineral, or olive, to be
used for massaging aching muscles and joints. Finally, the oil can
be blended with other cream based lotions to provide relief from
rashes and irritated skin.
Other Uses
In addition to medicinal use, chamomile enjoys wide usage,
especially in Europe and the U.S., as a refreshing beverage tea and
as an ingredient in numerous cosmetic and external preparations.
Rob McCaleb, President of the Herb Research Foundation in Boulder,
Colorado estimates that over one million cups of Chamomile tea are
ingested worldwide each day, making it probably the most widely
consumed herbal tea.
Cautions
While chamomile essential oil is generally quite safely used by
people of all ages, it is not recommended for those who are
pregnant. Additionally, it is recommended that those with strong
allergies to plants such as ragweed do a spot check on a small
patch of skin before applying to the whole body. This is because
chamomile can, on occasion, cause allergic reactions.
If you suffer from allergies to plants of the Compositae family (a
large group including such flowers as daisies, ragweed, asters and
chrysanthemums), you may wish to be cautious about using chamomile
at first. While there have been isolated reports of allergic
reactions, causing skin rashes and bronchial constriction, most
people can use this herb with no problem.
