Although two species of chamomile are routinely used for medicinal purposes, German chamomile finds more application in the United States.

Chamomile has many applications for anxiety and restlessness. You probably have heard its name associated with chamomile tea. The tea form of chamomile is very popular and often marketed as a before-bedtime drink.

However, chamomile can be made into many other forms including capsules, ointments, and even mouth rinses.

Not a significant source of vitamins and minerals.

Medicinal Value:

Several studies have indicated chamomile’s effectiveness in treating ulcers in people who have recently undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
