Chamomile tea isn’t just a cozy bedtime drink—it’s one of the oldest herbal remedies in the world. For centuries, people have turned to chamomile to calm their nerves, ease worry, and encourage restful sleep.
Modern research backs this up: chamomile contains natural compounds that can relax the nervous system, making it easier to unwind after a stressful day. Some studies even suggest that regular chamomile tea consumption may help reduce mild symptoms of depression and anxiety, offering gentle emotional support.
