The Myriad of Benefits of Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is well known for being a relaxing choice of tea, and generations of people have consumed this natural beverage for its incredible health benefits, as well as its delicious taste. In this post we delve into the sweet world of chamomile tea, exploring its benefits, best times to indulge, and much more.
Chamomile tea is derived from the daisy family and its delicate taste has hints of apple, florals, and meadow, with comforting earthy undertones. But what are the health benefits of chamomile tea? There’s far more than you might think! Bursting with antioxidants, chamomile tea stands as a guardian against many common ailments, both physical and mental. Just as lotions containing chamomile soothe the skin, drinks containing chamomile may potentially soothe your body’s essential systems.
While chamomile tea is the most well-known option for promoting relaxation and sleep, Moringa tea is also a great alternative, offering a unique array of health benefits.
Here’s a taste of the benefits that chamomile tea may provide your body and mind:
- The antioxidants contained within a chamomile tea bag may help to reduce the risk of heart problems when consumed regularly. Studies observed chamomile tea showing promise in reducing cholesterol when consumed as part of a meal, as well as helping to lower blood pressure, contributing to a healthy heart overall.
- The nutrients that chamomile tea provides may help boost your immune system to reduce your risk of common illnesses, in addition to its soothing effect. This effect may help a sore throat to feel better, and it's very comforting when you’re suffering from illnesses such as coughs, colds or flu.
- Many people drink chamomile tea when they are stressed or anxious as it is thought to not only contribute to potentially reducing anxiety levels but also potentially relieve depressive moods thanks to its relaxing nature and combination of vitamins and minerals.
- Studies have shown drinking chamomile tea may help to lower blood sugar, and evidence suggests it has the potential to help you stay in control of diabetic blood sugar spikes and dips when consumed with a meal, as opposed to drinking water. Additionally, studies conducted with animals have shown consuming chamomile tea with a meal may help to reduce the blood sugar spike we all experience after a meal.
- Further studies have observed it has the potential to aid digestion thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects. It’s also been shown to be advantageous in reducing stomach acid, which is a great benefit for those who suffer from acid reflux or stomach ulcers. It’s been used by many people to potentially help reduce gas and relieve nausea for generations.
When is the Best Time to Drink Chamomile Tea?
While chamomile tea is a delicious drink at any time of day, it’s important to consider the benefits you hope to achieve when choosing when to drink it.
If you’re looking for a potential digestive remedy, something to support your everyday digestive health, or something that may reduce your cholesterol, or you’d like better control over your blood sugar, consuming chamomile tea with your meals is the best time to drink it.
If you’d like to relieve insomnia and aid relaxation for sleep, drinking chamomile tea a short time before bed may yield you the best results, allowing the nutrients to be absorbed and the soothing taste to calm you.
For those wishing to relieve anxiety and uplift their general mood, or to manage general stress, drink chamomile tea as and when you feel you need it.
The same can be said for those wishing to relieve the symptoms of illness such as nausea, coughs, colds, flu, and sore throats.
Chamomile tea is a true gift of nature that is naturally caffeine-free as well as perfectly safe and you’re encouraged to drink multiple cups of chamomile tea throughout the day, so you can freely enjoy a cup whenever you fancy one!
