Safe use and tips
Chamomile is a safe herb that can also be used as food (status H). It is traditionally used for calming, relieving digestive problems, facilitating sleep and irritability. It is also suitable for children, but consumption should always be in moderation.
People who are allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family should use chamomile with caution. It is generally safe to use in moderation during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it is recommended to use products specifically labeled for this purpose. Chamomile is not addictive, but avoid combining it with strong sleeping pills or sedatives.
Conclusion
A cold chamomile drink is a gentle alternative to summer drinks that will not only refresh you, but also pleasantly calm you. Its warm, floral flavor and soothing effect on the body and digestion make it ideal for late afternoons or evenings when you want a little more inner peace. Try it as part of your evening routine or with a light summer dinner – and let it help you create a moment of silence in your day.
