One of the oldest herbal plants today is Chamomile.  Chamomile has a long history of use in Europe and has some unique benefits. The herb Chamomile also comes in tea which is know as Chamomile Tea. It has been know to have many health benefits.Some of the most common benefits include relief from Indigestion,Anxiety,Insomnia,Canker sores,Colic,Conjunctivitis, eye irritations,Crohn's disease,Diarrhea,Eczema,Gingivitis,Hemorrhoids,Menstrual disorders,Migraine,Irritable bowel syndrome,Peptic ulcer,Skin irritations.

Some herbal remedy or another has been in use since the beginning of time, long before there were doctors. Many medications commonly used today are derived from plants. Aspirin, digitalis, opium, and quinine are all derived from plants. Approximately 25% of drugs in use today come from plants. The other problem with herbal supplements is that they are not regulated by the FDA until they are on the market. If they prove to be harmful, then the FDA can step in and remove them from the market, but it's kind of like closing the barn door when the horse is already out. So called scientific studies may not always be reliable because they are not closely regulated. Even so, the World Health Organization tells us that 80% of the population uses herbal remedies in some form.

Chamomile and Chamomile Tea has been used for many years and the tea works wonders after a long stressful day, but also this subject of herbal supplements has had much controversy. While many medical herbs do have healing properties, most herbal practitioners are quick to tell you that they are not meant to cure any disease. Most physicians will also tell you while herbs may have value; they are not a replacement for prescription drugs. What do you believe? I think it makes sense to research whatever herbal treatment you are considering and if you have a serious medical condition you need to use supplements with the approval of your doctor. Always do your research and consult with a physician before trying any kind of herbal supplements if you have a health concern or may be taking medications. Just because they are said to be natural does not always mean they are safe.
