Chamomile Tea
Chamomile Tea is a great beverage to drink right before you go to bed for the
night.
One of the greatest benefits of drinking this tea is that it is natural and
healthy for you, so negative side effects aren’t really going to be a thing unless
you are allergic to chamomile.
“Unlike green or black tea, chamomile tea actually
comes, not from a green plant leaf but from a daisy-like plant. Plants in this family produce
tea that is most commonly known for its relaxing, sleep-inducing properties. A
flavonoid, chrysin, found in the plant is partially responsible for its reputation as a
sleep aid” – http://www.naturallivingideas.com/14-reasons- to-have- a-cup- of-

Chamomile Tea Sleep Aid
It only takes about a couple minutes after drinking the tea that you will drift off to
sleep.
Make sure you are in a comfortable, and safe place when you drink
chamomile tea; not for any particular reason just for extra relaxation and deeper
sleep qualities.
From the same article cited above:
“Chamomile is widely regarded as a mild
tranquilizer and sleep-inducer. Sedative effects may be due to the flavonoid,
apigenin that binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain. Studies in preclinical
models have shown anticonvulsant and CNS [central nervous system] depressant
effects respectively… 10 cardiac patients are reported to have immediately fallen
into a deep sleep lasting for 90 minutes after drinking chamomile tea.”
“The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends pouring 1 cup of boiling
water over 2 to 3 tbsp. of dried Roman or German chamomile and steeping for 10
to 15 minutes. Drink this tea three to four times daily, between meals. Pregnant
women and those with asthma should not drink chamomile tea” –

Chamomile Tea Regimen
Drinking excess amounts of concentrated chamomile tea can cause nausea, so
avoid consuming too much of this drink.
Again, drink this tea three to four times daily, between meals, but no more than
Five to six cups should be the maximum
amount you drink a day because too much could cause make you feel bad.
Whether you want to drink chamomile tea just to relax and watch TV while it’s
raining outside, or you really just need a sleep aid, this tea will definitely help you
out with that.
You can purchase this type of tea at almost any place that sells food
or vitamins.
