CHAMOMILE

his has got to be one of my all time favourite smells in the garden. I always grow chamomile, I find it supremely relaxing and keep vowing to stuff some in a pillowcase for a really deep sleep! This beautiful bouncy little green herb is well known for its relaxing properties - it’s often given to someone to help calm or before bed for improved sleep. 
So unsurprisingly this is definitely one to recommend to someone with anxiety or prone to low moods. Words I associate with chamomile: calming, relaxing, soothing...
____________
Did you know chamomile is also lovely for skin irritations? Take some dried chamomile (or worst case scenario a chamomile teabag!) infuse in warm water and make a compress for the sore skin. Really useful for children with sore eczema patches as it’s a gentle anti-inflammatory. Similarly a lovely one for post natal mothers - use it in your Epsom salt baths to speed recovery.
____________
It’s also very good for the digestive system and can be used to help soothe various ailments such as nausea, acid reflux and an upset tummy. It’s not recommended in pregnancy (as it can be uterine stimulating) BUT wonderful for kiddies! If you can persuade your small ones to drink a cup of this at bedtime, or drop some chamomile essential oil drops in their bath or even sling some fresh/dried herbs in there you’ll notice the difference immediately. So here’s to a peaceful bedtime tonight fellow parents? 👶🛁😴
