Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile Essential Oil has a ton of benefits and it's a great oil to have in the kitchen cupboard. As a kid I remember being given Chamomile tea whenever I needed a little extra help getting to sleep, or when I had a stomach ache. It is particularly effective for digestion when paired with peppermint. The tea is made by infusing the chamomile flower in hot water, then removing the chamomile flower before drinking.
With it's anti bacterial, anti septic, antibiotic and vermifuge (fever reducing) properties it's no wonder it helped so much!
Chamomile Essential Oil has many wonderful soothing health benefits.
