Chamomile Tea Relaxes
Many people have a special relationship with Chamomile for its power to help relieve stress and anxiety, fight insomnia and pain, and bring emotional and mental peace. Its sedative effects are probably due to the flavonoid apigenin, which binds to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain. This produces pain-killing and anti-anxiety effects similar to those of benzodiazepines. Essentially, Chamomile is nature’s valium. However, Chamomile’s relaxing effect does not cause dependency and has no significant side effects. The tea Chamomile and Valerian is a deeply comforting, healthy sleep-promoting blend of 85% Chamomile and 15% Valerian.

Digestive Health Support
People have always turned to Chamomile for the flower’s ability to alleviate digestive disorders like cramps, gas, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The herb’s volatile oils, including bisabolol and matricin, are the source of its carminative and antispasmodic powers. They relax smooth muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, chamomile enhances mucosal protection by increasing mucus secretion. It also modulates gut microbiota, which helps maintain a healthy digestive environment. NutraReflux tea promotes normal digestion and fights acid reflux.

Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant
Chamomile exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, primarily due to the presence of flavonoids like apigenin, quercetin, and luteolin, as well as sesquiterpenes such as chamazulene. These compounds modulate inflammatory pathways by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Additionally, chamomile’s antioxidant activity helps neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby preventing cellular damage and chronic inflammation.
Immune System Boost
Chamomile enhances overall immune function. The herb’s polysaccharides stimulate macrophage activity, promoting pathogen clearance and improving immune response. Additionally, chamomile’s flavonoids and terpenoids have antimicrobial properties that fight bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of infection. Regularly drinking chamomile tea strengthens immune defense and improves resistance to common colds and flu. NutraThroat tea soothes a sore throat, fights viruses and bacteria, and supports the upper respiratory tract.

Heart Health
Chamomile supports heart health by reducing blood pressure, improving lipid profiles, and exerting anti-thrombotic effects. The flavonoids in chamomile, particularly apigenin and luteolin, help relax blood vessels and improve endothelial function, thereby reducing hypertension. Chamomile’s antioxidant compounds also protect against oxidative stress-induced damage to the cardiovascular system, helping reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Chamomile could play a role in diabetes management by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing hyperglycemia. The bioactive compounds quercetin and apigenin inhibit the activity of enzymes like alpha-glucosidase, which slows carbohydrate absorption and stabilizes blood sugar levels. Also, chamomile’s anti-inflammatory properties help prevent diabetic complications by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in pancreatic cells.
