May Improve Heart Health

Flavones, a kind of antioxidant, are plentiful in chamomile tea. Flavones have been examined for their ability to decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels, both of which are crucial indicators of your risk of heart disease. In one research of 64 diabetic patients, those who drank chamomile tea with meals experienced significant improvements in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels as compared to those who drank water. More study is needed to validate chamomile tea's effect in supporting heart health, but including it in your diet can't hurt.

Although chamomile tea is frequently touted as a technique for avoiding and treating the common cold, there is no evidence to support this claim. It is also known to be beneficial for sore throats. There is some evidence that chamomile may lower the intensity of anxiety and sadness, however, this is largely based on aromatherapy or supplementation.
