Chamomile Tea: A Cure-All?

Long touted as a cure-all for the sick or stressed, chamomile continues to surprise scientists, who have now found that chamomile tea is able to relieve even colds and menstrual cramps.

Researchers at the Imperial College London used German chamomile, also called Manzanilla, to brew a flavourful tea for their study. They found that the tea is able to fight infections associated with colds, relieve muscle spasms and is possibly a mild sedative.

Furthermore, it was noted that the effects of the chamomile tea remained for two weeks after consumption.
