Chamomile | Stress & Sleep Support | Healthy Digestion

HOW TO USE

2oz of organic chamomile flowers brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose-leaf herbal tea.

Steep one to two teaspoons in 8oz of just-boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes, covered, to preserve the volatile oils that give chamomile its calming properties. Sweeten with honey if desired. For a more potent sleep or anxiety blend, steep for up to 10 minutes and combine with lemon balm or lavender. Chamomile is also wonderful as a cold brew: steep two tablespoons in cold water overnight for a delicate, floral iced tea.

Organic chamomile is one of the most beloved and universally trusted herbs in the world, with a history of use stretching back over 5,000 years across ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, and medieval Europe. Revered for its delicate apple-like fragrance, its gentle but deeply effective action on the nervous system, and its remarkable ability to ease both stress and digestive discomfort simultaneously, chamomile has been the world's most popular sleep and relaxation herb for generations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is chamomile tea good for sleep?
Yes. Chamomile is one of the most well-studied natural sleep herbs in the world. Its primary active compound produces a gentle sedative effect without the side effects or dependency risk of pharmaceutical sleep aids. Clinical studies have found that chamomile significantly improves sleep quality in postpartum women and in older adults with chronic insomnia. Drinking a strong cup 30 to 45 minutes before bed is the most effective approach.

Is chamomile tea good for anxiety?
Yes. Multiple clinical trials have found that chamomile extract significantly reduces symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. A 2019 review found that chamomile treatment for 2 to 4 weeks produced meaningful improvements in anxiety symptoms. 

Is chamomile tea safe during pregnancy?
Use caution and consult your healthcare provider. Some research suggests chamomile may have mild uterine-stimulating effects, and a 2024 systematic review noted potential adverse outcomes associated with chamomile use during pregnancy. Most integrative medicine practitioners recommend avoiding chamomile in the first trimester and limiting use in the second and third trimesters. As a general rule, no herbal supplement should be used during pregnancy without guidance from your healthcare provider.

Does chamomile tea help with digestion?
Yes. Chamomile's antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties make it highly effective for digestive discomfort, including gas, bloating, cramping, indigestion, and irritable bowel symptoms. It relaxes the smooth muscle of the digestive tract, easing spasms and supporting healthy gut motility. Many people drink chamomile after meals as a gentle digestive ritual.

Is chamomile tea good for menstrual cramps?
Yes. Chamomile's antispasmodic properties extend to the uterine muscle, making it one of the most traditionally recommended herbs for menstrual cramp relief. Studies have found that chamomile tea reduces the severity of menstrual cramps compared to a placebo, and some research suggests it may also help reduce anxiety and mood symptoms associated with PMS.
