A treasured herbal medicine, chamomile has soothed digestive systems and calmed people of all ages for centuries. But not until the 1970s were scientists able to document and verify chamomile’s healing and protective effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa (lining). Germany’s health authorities recognize the effectiveness of chamomile for relieving digestive spasms and inflammation when taken internally. Chamomile eases bloating and indigestion when taken after meals and can soothe occasional heartburn.
Many herbalists consider chamomile the premier children’s herb for easing upset tummies and calming frayed nerves after an exhausting day. Remember Peter Rabbit? His mother gives him a dose of chamomile tea (“One tablespoonful to be taken at bed-time.”) after his escapade sampling all the vegetables in Mr. McGregor’s garden leaves him with a tummy that needs soothing. A study of colicky babies found that chamomile, in combination with other herbs, was highly effective in reducing crying times when the colicky babies were compared with those in the control group.
Chamomile is also popular for alleviating inflammation of the mouth and skin. In a study of patients with chronic mouth ulcers, a remarkable 82 percent rated chamomile extract as excellent for relieving pain. C
ompounds in chamomile have been shown to enhance skin healing and to help prevent infection. Applied topically, a proprietary chamomile cream was shown to be as effective as low-dose, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream for relieving eczema.
Chamomile is also found in creams designed to soothe and heal diaper rash, skin irritations, and minor wounds. Germany’s health commission also recognizes the effectiveness of using chamomile externally for inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes, including those of the mouth and gums.
