DESCRIPTION Chamomile is noted for its calming and relaxing effects on both the digestive and nervous systems. Chamomile flowers may also have anti-inflammatory activity and may be beneficial in reducing allergic responses as it is recognised as a natural antihistamine. In addition, Chamomile is known as being an ulcer-protective through its healing effect on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Please note that although Chamomile may help prevent ulcers it may not help heal them, see our Aloe Vera for healing properties for ulcers.
