Chamomile and Skin Treatment

Chamomile, a flower in the daisy family, is one of the oldest of all herbs, dating back to ancient Egyptians. It’s both a pretty flower and an ancient healer.

This delicate flower is dried and drunk as tea -- or used as an extract topically.

To make brewed tea, the plant's delicate flowers are infused in hot water to make a light, delicate beverage that promotes relaxation and sleep.

In addition, many drink the herb tea because it is said to have anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties that help reduce cramping and indigestion.

Yet, this versatile herb is also recognized as a natural healing treatment that helps rejuvenate the skin.

To make a quick and easy tea facial, simply apply a paste made from one teaspoon of fine cornmeal mixed with cooled tea to the face, let dry, then gently rub off.

This very gentle skin tonic is ideal to replenish and enrich dry or sensitive skin. Its bactericidal, anti-itching, and antiseptic properties help to refresh the skin and reduce swelling.

Making paste with extra-strong brew and using it as an external wash or part of a hot compress can help soothe burns, skin rashes, and sores.

Always check with your doctor before using herbal tea for medicinal purposes or as a skin remedy.
