| Application︰ | Chamomile has a long history of use as a gentle sedative and for easing the discomfort of various gastrointestinal conditions. It is used both in the botanical and homeopathic forms to treat teething symptoms in infants. Its gentle action has made it a favorite remedy for children. Besides helping to allay irritability, anxiety and sleeplessness, modern research has shown that chamomile has antiinflammatory activity. The ability to decrease inflammation along with easing intestinal spasms make it an excellent remedy for the relief of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Topically, the antiinflammatory activity is useful in skin conditions like eczema and can be tried for any skin condition as an alternative to cortisone creams. Chamomile is widely available in tea and liquid extract forms, as well as in a variety of cream or ointment bases. |
