Chamomile is the common name referring to plants of the Asteraceae family. Chamomile mainly contains polyphenol compounds such as luteolin, apigenin, patuletin, and quercetin. It is currently under preliminary research for its potential anti-anxiety properties.
For those interested in chamomile tea as a home remedy for anxiety, it not only decreases anxiety and stress but also improves sleep. This is thought to be due to its ability in reducing irritability and muscle relaxation. To make chamomile tea, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of dry chamomile in a glass of boiling water and allow to steep for 5 minutes.
