Herbal Spotlight – Chamomile
Herbal Spotlight
Let’s talk about a herb that has strengths in the following domains:
- Heals the gut (protects from ulcers)
- When stepped as a tea, can be used as a mouthwash for gingivitis
- Is an antioxidant, antispasmodic and is anti-inflammatory
Can you guess? It’s Chamomile!
Generally considered a very safe herb* for both adults and kids, is great when taken as a tea using filtered water and cover while steeping for at least 3 minutes to get the antioxidant and relaxation benefits.
* Caution taking if you are hypersensitive to the asteraceae family.
This herb also pairs well with peppermint or spearmint to enhance digestion.
ENJOY!
