Camomile tea works wonders for anxiety/palpatations

[kittykat22]

Hi All,

Does this really work well for anxiety sufferers?

Does it jut make you feel calmer or actually relieve symptoms?

I keep getting muscle spasms/vibrations and want something to help it!

Thanks a lot xx

Hi Guys, do you know if Camomile Tea is O.K to drink whilst taking citalopram 10mg? I know its a natural product and may sound like a stupid question but i know that you cannot take st johns wart whilst on medication so wanted to double check!
Thanks X

Do you all really think it helps?
I used to drink it occasionally, years ago, before my HA started. It is supposed to calm one down and facilitate sleep, I know that, but I didn't notice any effect whatsoever.
Was I too wound up?
Can it really help me when I panic?

It is soothing but I would say its benefits are somewhat exaggerated - like most natural remedies in my experience. But it is pleasant. Valerian tea made with the dried plant leaves is more effective as I recall. Shame it tastes and smells so disgusting!

Might have to give the camomile a try. I'll try the valerian when I have a cold so I can't tell what it tastes or smells like. lol. I do like the odd decaf green tea, I know that's meant to help with weight loss and has antioxidants in it.

I cant get away with just camomille tea but the camomille with spiced apple from twinings is nice x

reading everyone saying that chamomile doesnt taste good or is weird.. im wondering wether i have the right stuff or not lol! i find the taste really nice and i think it is somewhat soothing.

The trick with camomile tea is to not completely boil the water.
Just warm it up.
Then cover the top of the cup with a plate because apparently many great properties are lost when it steams.
I drink it three-four times a day and in fact thank you for this thread as I'm now reminded to make myself another!

P.s: stop coffee asap, it does nothing for anxiety.

Flavonoid apigenin in chamomile tea has a relaxing, sedating quality that can help you sleep which in turn help reduce anxiety.
