When we think of chamomile, we think of calm and relaxation. In fact, chamomile is perhaps the world's most soothing herb, having been used extensively in Chinese medicine for many, many years.

Being a mild relaxant and sedative, it is often used as an herbal remedy to help ease depression, stress, anxiousness, insomnia, as well as menstrual cramps and other discomforts. Inhaling steam containing chamomile extract has been shown to ease cold symptoms, and research suggests that massaging with chamomile essential oil may improve anxiety and quality of life in patients with cancer. Oh well, seems getting too serious here. Why don't we just steep some dried chamomile flowers in a cup of hot water for a simple homemade zen tea treat? The picture of this itself is already soothing enough.

How you use chamomile is probably best dictated by the reason you are using it. Best known for its muscle and nerve relaxing attributes, chamomile is widely used in aromatherapy.
