Chamomile Benefits for Anxiety and Digestion

The chamomile plant is native to Western Europe and Northern Africa, but these days it’s grown all around the world in different temperate regions. The main exporters of chamomile today are Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Poland and Germany. German chamomile is most widely available for medicinal uses and biologically is different from the Roman and English types of chamomile. The benefits are similar, but the different types have slightly different tastes.
Records show that chamomile benefits have been recognized for at least 2,000 years, having been used both medicinally and cosmetically. Germans have used chamomile to resolve digestive issues since at least the first century, and records show that Egyptians worshipped the plant and dedicated festivals to its healing properties. Egyptian noblewomen were known to crush chamomile flowers and apply them to their skin to preserve their youthful glow and naturally slow signs of aging.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, Jordan Rubin is talking about chamomile - what it is, what it does, and how best to use it, specifically for anxiety and digestion.

I have an Headache since almost 7 years. I went to several doctors, they did all kind of test MRI, CT scan etc..I never found a solution. I took Chamomile because I can not sleep at night. And I find out that I have more energy at work, I stress less and the most important thing I don't have any headache at all when I drink it. This tea is amazing.

Jordan S Rubin's books changed my life many years ago. I walked into a health food store during a road trip to California, literally in the middle of nowhere USA. I was complaining to the owner of the store about stomach pain, he gave me a book called Patient Heal thyself by Jordan S Rubin, then he said me the author is so passionate about this, he wants people to have his book for free. I was shocked, graciously received and read the book, which I credit to helping me heal, after 3 years of veganism wrecked my digestive system. Thank you Jordan S Rubin, blessings to you and your family for all time to come!

Chamomile is absolutely delicious! I add chamomile to all of my bottles of water so that every time I take a sip of water I get a delicious drink as well as a soothing relaxing beverage that washes over my well exercised body during the summer months. I drink chamomile day and night it is my absolute go to in this high stress world! It also helps defend my body against my diabetes.

Hi gloria! Your comment actually answered my question. I bought a liquid extract supplement to also put in my water/ or juice and was wondering if it made you sleepy throughout the day when you drank it in the morning?

I recently began experiencing some pretty strong anxiety so decided to try Chamomile. I purchased some Chamomile tea and capsules at my local health food store. At night I had two cups of the tea and in the morning took two of the capsules. My anxiety disappeared in less than 24 hr. The only side effect is that the tea makes you want to urinate which is a small price to pay.
