It is a mistake to think that chamomile herb is a panacea for all health problems. You need to understand what it helps with so that the treatment brings the expected result .

Long-term research into herbal medicines has identified a number of indications for the use of chamomile:

Skin diseases of various origins. Chamomile helps prevent the occurrence of comedones and acne , promotes the healing of burns, purulent wounds, relieves inflammation in abscesses, removes freckles and pigment spots. It is used for compresses, lotions and wiping.

Diseases of internal organs. Regular use of decoctions relieves spasms and inflammations in enteritis, colitis, etc. , reduces gas formation in flatulence. Among the common problems are hemorrhoids, which can also be treated with a micro enema of chamomile grass.

Inflammation of the mucous membranes. Lotions, washes, douches can be used (in gynecology for painful menstruation, inflammation of the urethra, erosion of the cervix, vaginosis ).

Treatment of respiratory diseases. The ground part of chamomile is indicated for use to relieve bronchospasms , swelling of the respiratory tract, facilitate the discharge of sputum, is effective at high temperatures, has an antiseptic effect in acute respiratory viral infections.

Anxiety, insomnia, depression. With prolonged use, decoctions and tinctures have a deep calming effect, relieve stress and fatigue, without causing addiction.

Contraindications and harm to the body

The use of this plant has its contraindications. First of all, this concerns people suffering from low stomach acidity ( anacid gastritis, ulcer). Here we can highlight another limiting factor – diarrhea.

People with unstable psyche should drink medicinal infusions of chamomile with special caution. Regular use of the plant may cause mental hysteria, outbursts of unreasonable anger, extreme irritability or aggression, tearfulness and uncontrolled mood swings.

Such emotional behavior and psychological state are contraindications for further treatment. In this case, it is necessary to take a temporary “break” and then start the medicinal measures again. If attacks of headache, migraine, muscle weakness and a feeling of weakness occur, you need to stop drinking chamomile and observe your well-being.

People prone to hypersensitivity of the skin or susceptible to allergic reactions should be especially careful with this herb. Absolute contraindications for use are the presence of an allergenic component in the plant.

In gynecology, doctors do not recommend chamomile teas and decoctions to pregnant women. This opinion is connected with the significant stimulation of the ovaries in the production of estrogens, after which there is an excess of this hormone in the body. During a normal pregnancy, their amount should be normal.
