How Chamomile Tea Can Reduce Stress


Today, we are constantly living on the edge due to our hectic lifestyle. As it appears, there is no way to completely eliminate stress from our busy lives. But we can surely take some measures to control it for the sake of our loved ones.

Most people will take this simple remedy casually, however, as amazing as it may seem, a cup of Chamomile infusion can help calm our frayed nerves. The beverage, regarded as a medicinal herb since time immemorial, has a rich history that dates back to the ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Roman Eras.

The drink, known for its excellent calming effects, eases muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress levels, and soothes the nerve centres of our body with its inherent relaxing properties. These exceptional medicinal qualities of Chamomile tea were limited to anecdotes and folktales until a research confirmed that the herb chamomile indeed helps relieve stress symptoms.

Calm Down With a Cup of Chamomile Tea – In a remarkable study, twelve heart patients in a hospital with pressure-measuring catheter placed within their heart ventricles were offered chamomile tea, prepared by placing two tea bags in 6 ounces of hot water for about ten minutes.

After the patients finished drinking the tea, their vital parameters such as blood pressure and the overall heart function were closely monitored by trained medical practitioners.

Strangely, within a few minutes, ten of the twelve patients went into a deep state of sleep. As observed, all the patients were relaxed, and their blood pressure within the left and right ventricles were absolutely normal with no signs of any significant rise.

The researchers described the hypnotic effect as ‘striking’, as it is quite unusual for patients to fall asleep during a heart catheterisation process due to the high level of anxiety involved in the procedure.

After the test, the researchers came to a conclusion that the use of chamomile is a safe and effective treatment for moderate-to-severe anxiety disorder. They also unanimously agreed that chamomile tea’s sedative effect naturally reduces the stress level and promotes sleep.

Say “Goodbye” To Thyroid Cancer – As a bonus, regularly drinking chamomile tea can lower the risks of thyroid cancer as well. The usual intake should be one to three cups per day, and nothing like it if you can add a sprig of garden mint to it, which will rejuvenate your inner senses.
