Chamomile tea

[cris0105]

Hi all,

Heard some mixed things about chamomile tea, good for relaxing etc and some things about helping the airwaves.

A quick google search says it’s not recommended for ashmatics? Anyone use it regularly? Keen to try just more from a relaxation POV more than anything else.

Thanks

I don’t drink it often but do have a few “sleepy” teas that have chamomile in

I’ve not personally found that it causes me any issues with asthma (if anything it does probably help me sleep better as it’s quite relaxing - whether that’s because of the chamomile or just because my brain thinks it will help I don’t know!)

I guess maybe the best way to go about it is to try a small amount first and keep a close eye to see if it causes any problems?

I drink chamomile tea, I find it soothing, I don't think it affects my chest.

Peppermint tea is lovely but it gives me acid reflux.

Why don't you just try a cup of chamomile, they're not expensive if you decide they do affect you.

Take care x

I have read that chamomile has muscle relaxing properties and I drink it sometimes. I've also used teas and syrup with tulsi as I've read that herb helps with lung issues. I found it really helpful but then I read somewhere that it might disrupt the effectiveness of inhaled corticosteriods. It can be so hard to navigate all the stuff you read.
