Dear readers, chamomile is a really useful plant that should be drunk. Chamomile is such a mysterious plant that its infusion is drunk in different countries for different benefits.

           I recommend that you drink chamomile tea 5-6 times a week, not only when you are sick. For example, drinking a glass of infusion before going to bed in the evening both calms the nerves and deepens sleep.

           Chamomile flowers can also be infused in milk and drunk before going to bed in the evening. This method is more common in America.

           There are several types of chamomile. Due to its benefits, such as tea, its small sort or the one which crumbles when touching its flower, that is the chamomile sold in pharmacy, is used more commonly. Chamomile species with large flowers are more widespread in Azerbaijan. They are used externally in various skin rashes, diathesis, skin spots and as a bath to soothe the nerves. It is better to buy chamomile taken orally as tea in pharmacies.

           Statistics show that more than one million people worldwide use chamomile tea every day.

           Although non-specific diseases such as peptic ulcer are sometimes treated for years, no results are obtained. It is useful for such patients to drink chamomile tea 4 times a day for 3 months.
