Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for this information. As a matter of fact, do have some in my refrigerator. Forgot why I purchased it but will give it a go. ~Kate > I am wondering if anyone here experiences mouth irritations?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hi, I was browsing about tea and its' benefits and found this and thought that it might help as many do have chamomile tea in theor cupboard. I didn't realize that it was so good for us. Canker sores Because of its soothing effect on mucous membranes (including the lining of the mouth) and healing properties, chamomile can be tried for canker sores and other mouth irritations. A strong tea made from chamomile tincture can be swished in the mouth three to four times per day. Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) has been used traditionally to relieve inflamed or irritated mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Since heartburn sometimes involves reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, the anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile are also useful. In addition, chamomile appears to promote normal digestion. However, modern studies are lacking to prove chamomile beneficial for people with heartburn or indigestion. Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) has not been studied for indigestion, though it has traditionally been used similarly to German chamomile. Insomnia Chamomile tea is an old folk remedy for anxiety, particularly when it causes insomnia. Often 1 cup of tea is taken three or more times per day. Chamomile essential oils have eased intestinal cramping and irritation in laboratory experiments on animals. Herbalists sometimes recommend chamomile to relieve alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation, though research has yet to investigate these effects. Chamomile is typically taken three times per day, between meals, in a tea form by dissolving 2–3 grams of powdered chamomile or by adding 3–5mL of herbal extract tincture to hot water.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Dawn, I drink Camomile tea during the day when I'm in the classroom - very calming. This morning was very stressful and my teaching assistant (noting my rising irritation) nipped out to make me a cup of tea. She came back with a cup of lemon and ginger and decided that she'd wait until I'd finished it before telling me that someone had walked off with my camomile tea bags. Very wise....he he! --- dawn prince wrote: > Hi, > I was browsing about tea and its' benefits and found > this and > thought that it might help as many do have chamomile > tea in theor > cupboard.
