Chamomile is edible and medicinal. The flowers are edible and quite tasty in salads or made into a refreshing cold or warm beverage. Chamomile Flower is frequently used for an anti-inflammatory, an antispasmodic and digestive complaints, particularly gas. This gentle herb is basically good for all constitutional types. As an antispasmodic, chamomile is used for cramps of all types. As a diaphoretic, it promotes perspiration, a time honored method of "sweating it out."
A cup of tea with chamomile in it is a time-honored remedy for inducing sleep as well as an aid to many other nervous conditions. The tea has anti-inflammatory properties, good for rheumatism, arthritis, and other painful swellings. It is also an antispasmodic for intestinal and menstrual cramps, relieves gas pains, acts as a very mild but efficient laxative, and loosens tight muscles.
Milder tea in large doses is given throughout the day for fevers, sore throats, the aches and pains due to colds, flu, and allergies. It is nervine and sedative especially suited to teething children and those who have been in a highly emotional state over a long period of time.
