What are the unusual properties of chamomile?



Chamomile is well-known for its calming qualities. People who tend to be stressed and agitated take chamomile tea to calm their nerves. It helps to ease indigestion, inflammation, toothache and burns. The dry flower of the chamomile plant is used for tea and medicines. You can buy dry, crushed flowers and make tea by boiling teaspoonfuls of it in water.



Chamomile can also be added to your compost heap to speed up the rate of decomposition. It is one of a number of different herbs that are said to serve this purpose. Speeding up your compost heap can help to keep your garden functioning well and makes sure that you have the ingredients necessary to return nutrients to your polytunnel system.



Chamomile can also be used in hair care. An infusion of chamomile flowers is said to be a particularly good hair shampoo, especially for those with fair hair. Simply use in place of purchased shampoos in a sustainable hair care system.
