There\u2019s black tea, green tea, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/oolong-tea-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oolong tea,<\/a> white tea, and countless varieties of herbal tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chamomile tea is one of the most popular types of herbal tea. You might be wondering what the chamomile tea benefits are, so we\u2019ve comprised a list of eight potential health benefits of drinking chamomile tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-chamomile-tea\">What Is Chamomile Tea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chamomile is a daisy-like plant that has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, and Rome. There are two main types of chamomile &#8211; Roman chamomile and German chamomile. Both have similar benefits and properties, but Roman chamomile is more well-known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chamomile is a popular type of tea due to its numerous potential health benefits. One of the reasons chamomile tea is popular is because it\u2019s free of caffeine, unlike black tea and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/green-tea-catechins\/\">green tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You make chamomile tea by pouring hot or boiling water over dried chamomile flowers. You can prepare chamomile tea using loose leaf tea or in pre-prepared tea bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-health-benefits-of-chamomile-tea\">8 Health Benefits Of Chamomile Tea&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-sleep\">1.

Chamomile contains a specific antioxidant called apigenin. Apigenin binds to benzodiazepine receptors in your brain, which makes it act as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2995283\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">mild tranquilizer and a sleep-inducer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29154054\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">A study<\/a> used chamomile extract on elderly patients living in a nursing home. Before taking chamomile (or the control), both groups\u2019 sleep quality was poor. After 28 days, the sleep quality in the chamomile extract group significantly improved compared to the control group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, people have used chamomile to treat nightmares, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/insomnia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insomnia<\/a>, and other sleep problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/sleep-better-naturally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"sleep and immune system\" class=\"wp-image-26676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Your-Immunity_.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-blood-sugar\">2.

One of the potential benefits of chamomile tea for diabetes is that it may promote better <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/how-to-control-blood-sugar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blood sugar control<\/a>, regardless of your body\u2019s insulin secretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking unsweetened beverages like chamomile tea can help promote healthy blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Drinking chamomile tea is safe and well-tolerated by most people. The only people who should avoid drinking chamomile tea are those who have developed an allergic reaction to chamomile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several studies suggesting potential health benefits of drinking chamomile tea or taking chamomile extract. It\u2019s important to note that many of the studies on chamomile were limited in terms of small sample sizes, and some of the studies were on animals or test tubes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While test-tube and animal study results can be promising, the results can\u2019t be directly translated to use in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to drink chamomile tea for its potential health benefits, you should do so in conjunction with your current healthcare plan. You should always speak with your healthcare provider if you have concerns, and don\u2019t stop taking any prescribed medications to use chamomile instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"explore-more\">Explore More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/kombucha-tea-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"kombucha tea benefits\" class=\"wp-image-28462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Health-benefits-of-kombucha-tea-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/kombucha-tea-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Kombucha Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural remedies and homeopathic medicine are popular worldwide, even in countries with heavier use of modern medicine.&nbsp; You might look to natural remedies to ease symptoms of minor upsets or to help treat more serious chronic health conditions.
