Description

A recent report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry confirms that chamomile is an effective anti-inflammatory, sedative and ulcer-fighter. Research also suggests that chamomile may act as an antioxidant and antimicrobial.

During the study, researchers tested 14 healthy volunteers who drank five cups of chamomile tea every day for two weeks. They found that drinking tea produced an increase in a substance that helps the body fight off colds.

Chamomile tea is not only a delicious, uncannily calming beverage (that is naturally caffeine-free), but it is also showing to have a comparable amount of health benefits to its cousin, green tea.
