Chamomile:
Calming Herbal Muscle Relaxant provides Tension Relief
There are two types of medicinal Chamomile:
German Chamomile (Matricaria) and Roman Chamomile (Anthemis). The Roman Chamomile is known for its sweet smell when the sun warms it up. It is often used in gardens. Both have equal medicinal properties but the German Chamomile is the less bitter tasting of the two types. Chamomile is composed of azulenes, a blue oil which gives it such a sweet, distinctive smell. There are a wide variety of active constituents in chamomile including bisabol, flavonoids, apiginine, luteoline, chamazulene, matricine and flavonoids. But it's major action is sedative.
It is a very powerful muscle relaxant which soothes the nervous system as well as the digestion.
Its sedative properties are used in sleep disorders and as a muscle relaxant in the treatment of such illnesses as menstrual pain, neuralgia, tooth ache and tension headaches. Chamomile Tea has long been used to induce sleep in children as well as in adults. It promotes a very deep and restful sleep. The flower essence of Chamomile is used to relieve tension, anxiety, depression and removes the causes of insomnia.
It has anti-inflammatory properties and is used to reduce the inflammation caused by gout and arthritis when taken internally. And externally applied it also has anti-inflammatory properties. A bath of chamomile will relieve hemorrhoids. Applying a wash of chamomile to inflamed eyes, inflamed gums, inflammatory skin conditions and sore throat will reduce the inflammation in all cases.
The benefits of Chamomile can be divided into three major types:
