Chamomile is a widely used herb with anti-inflammatory, soothing, and antioxidant effects. It is often used to relieve skin sensitivity, improve sleep, regulate the digestive system, and is a preferred ingredient for natural care because of its mild properties. The following are the specific effects and functions:

1. Anti-inflammatory and soothing effects

Chamomile contains bisabolol and flavonoids, which can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and reduce skin redness, swelling, itching and other problems. For irritation caused by eczema, dermatitis, mosquito bites, etc., topical application of chamomile extract or essential oil can accelerate repair. In addition, its mild properties are suitable for daily care of sensitive skin, such as adding it to cleansing products or masks.

2. Sleeping and mood regulation

The apigenin component in chamomile tea can bind to brain receptors to produce a mild sedative effect, help relieve anxiety and improve sleep quality. Studies have shown that drinking chamomile tea may shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, especially for people who are under long-term stress or nervous. Drinking a cup of warm chamomile tea before bedtime and practicing deep breathing will have a better effect.

3. Antioxidant and anti-aging

Chamomile is rich in polyphenols, which can neutralize free radicals and delay cellular oxidative damage. Long-term use of skin care products containing chamomile can reduce spots and fine lines caused by ultraviolet rays and enhance the skin barrier function. Oral administration (such as tea) helps to reduce the level of oxidative stress in the body and indirectly support overall health.

4. Regulate the digestive system

In traditional medicine, chamomile is used to relieve digestive problems such as bloating, stomach cramps, and irritable bowel syndrome. Its antispasmodic properties can relax intestinal smooth muscles and promote the secretion of digestive juices. Drinking chamomile tea after meals or applying hot compresses to the abdomen (adding chamomile essential oil) can help improve discomfort.
