Chamomile tea is a herbal beverage made from the dried flowers of the chamomile plant, primarily Matricaria chamomilla or Chamaemelum nobile. Known for its soothing properties, it has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and aid sleep. The tea has a mild, sweet flavor with floral notes, making it a popular choice for those seeking a calming drink.
In addition to its calming effects, chamomile tea is often consumed for its potential health benefits. It may help with digestion, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. However, individuals allergic to ragweed or other related plants should exercise caution when consuming chamomile.
