Chamomile

Also known as: German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla

Chamomile is one of the most widely used medicinal herbs; it contains the flavonoid apigenin and essential oils (bisabolol, chamazulene). It is traditionally used for calm, sleep and digestive complaints.

What it is used for

  • easing tension and restlessness – weak to moderate evidence from smaller studies with extract
  • sleep support – weak evidence
  • digestive upset, cramps and bloating – weak evidence, long traditional use

Forms and how they differ

tea

most common and gentle form

liquid extract

more concentrated; apigenin content depends on the label

dry extract capsules

more precise dosing

When to take it

In the evening before bed, or after meals for digestive complaints.

Pairs well with

Lemon balm, lavender, peppermint (for digestion).

Do not combine / separate

Take care combining with blood thinners and sedatives.

Watch out for

Not suitable if allergic to the daisy family (ragweed, mugwort, marigold). Higher-dose extracts are not suitable in pregnancy; if you take medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Safe as a tea; with extracts do not exceed the label dose.

Practical tip

Steep the tea covered for 5–10 minutes so the essential oils are not lost.
