Through the ages, it\u2019s been the go-to herb for fever, kidney health, sleep, bladder, digestion, skin, allergies, bruises, female issues and hemorrhoids. If that sounds like a cure-all, you\u2019re right. It was the panacea for centuries. Besides medicinal use, chamomile found favor in the kitchen, too. &nbsp;Romans used it to spice up their food and during the Middle Ages monks added it to sweeten their home-brewed beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known today as the herb of rest and relaxation, Chamomile continues to be popular for its calming properties both internally, taken as a tea or tincture, and externally as an ingredient in beauty creams and lotions.&nbsp; Its benefits appear to come from its 120 chemical constituents including chamazulene, bisabolol, apigenin and luteolin, which appear to boost chemicals in the brain such as serotonin and dopamine that affect mood. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header2\">Chamomile for calming skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This little herbal gem is great for skin too.
