What is Chamomile

When found in nature, chamomile is a daisy-like flower that is known for its delicate white petals, yellow centre and thin stem. However, this herbal plant can be prepared in various ways and dried for reliable use across industries.

Commonly, the flower itself is dried whole and used in herbal remedies or to make organic products. However, it can also be milled to make a powder or cutting.

Austral Herbs offers dried chamomile in all of these forms, taking on the preparation work so you don't have to. Instead, you can simply select the amount of the product desired and have it delivered right to your door for immediate use.

Benefits of Chamomile

For many years, dried organic chamomile flowers have been used in medicine and teas for its presumed benefits. While these benefits can't be proven, chamomile flowers are traditionally used to treat conditions such as:

  • Gum inflammation
  • Fevers
  • Sore throats
  • Gas and/or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Acid reflux, nausea and vomiting
  • Chest colds
  • Heart burn
  • Upset stomach ulcers
  • and more

Skincare products may also include dried chamomile as an ingredient to treat skin conditions. When created as an ointment or liquid, chamomile may be used for:

  • Acne, psoriasis or eczema
  • Shingles
  • Minor first-degree burns
  • Mouth sores
  • Abscesses

For many, chamomile is used as sleep aid. That's why many teas containing dried flowers contain chamomile, aiming to soothe anxiety, insomnia, stress, and other conditions that prevent sleep. Again, while this benefit can't be proven, it's a common benefit that many believe in.
