Physical Properties*:
Chamomile is most likely the most widely known and safest relaxing nervine, sleep-aid used in the Western World. It’s gentle yet firm actions make it suitable for all kind of constitutions, from the bed ridden melancholic to the eternally busy mother of four; and for all ages, being suitable teething infants, anxious children or elderly folk suffering from life-thinned nerves and restless sleeps. Also famed as an ‘after dinner tea,’ the high concentration of essential oils found within the herb enable it to act powerfully on the digestive system, having a relaxing yet tonifying effect, aiding in bile production, eliminating gas, relieving indigestion, calming inflammations such as gastritis, reducing colic, and ameliorating ulcers. Nervousness often causes many of the digestive issues that Chamomile can remedy, though it’s soothing effects reach far beyond the stomach. Chamomile tones the nervous system and is an antispasmodic that relaxes the peripheral nerves and muscles, it is considered anodyne (pain relieving) by this same gesture, in unison with its anti-inflammatory constituents. Chamomile also holds antibacterial properties that work well with its antispasmodic ones, being useful in herbal protocols aimed at curing all colds, though it can be particularly useful where there are damp tickly coughs that keep one from fully relaxing at night-time. Its antibacterial properties combine also with anticatarrhal constituents to eliminate excessive mucous from the sinuses. Warming diaphoretic properties contribute to this plant helping to ‘break’ fevers – the aforementioned antibacterial and anticatarrhal properties thence continuing to eliminate illness from the body.
