Chamomile for balance

-

Forget dusty old teabags. “When you understand what quality chamomile can do, you understand why herbalists turn to it so often,” says Anthia. It can ease both our nervous system and digestive system at once. “It’s a digestive aid and carminativ­e, meaning it can relieve wind and bloating. At the same time, it stimulates the parasympat­hetic nervous system, which is a counter-balance to the fight-or-flight mode many may find themselves in these days. Chamomile sends a signal to your body that you’re safe and it’s time for rest.”
