What It Is - Why It Works

Chamomile is a traditional home remedy native to Europe and northwest Asia, and now grows in North America and elsewhere as well.  A small plant (8 to 16 inches in height), it sports little white and yellow flowers.

The entire flowering chamomile plant, or the flowers alone, may be used medicinally.  The herb has pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, promotes wound healing, combats certain bacteria on the skin, and has a mild tranquilizing effect.  Clinical trials of a Chamomile cream have confirmed its ability to relieve skin inflammations as effectively as certain steroid creams.

Do not use Chamomile if you have an allergy to another member of this plant family (including arnica, artemisia, feverfew, tansy, and yarrow).

Try Chamomile cautiously if you have hay fever or asthma; it has been known to trigger a severe allergic reaction under these conditions.  It can also cause allergic skin reactions when used externally.

Chamomile could add to the blood-thinning effect of Coumadin and similar drugs.  Because of the tranquilizing properties of chamomile, it's best to avoid combining it with alcohol and anti-anxiety drugs such as Ativan, Valium, and Xanax.
