CHAMOMILE OR CHAMOMILE DRIED FLOWER[MATRICARIA RECUTITA]

Listing description

Chamomile or camomile (/ˈkæməˌmaɪl, -ˌmiːl/ kam-ə-myl or kam-ə-meel[1][2]) is the common name for several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae that are commonly used to make herb infusions to serve various medicinal purposes. 
 Detailed description
Popular uses of chamomile preparations include treating hay fever, inflammation, muscle spasms, menstrual disorders, insomnia, ulcers, gastrointestinal disorders, and haemorrhoids.[3] Camomile tea is also used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, chickenpox and psoriasis.

Tea / Herbal infusion

Chamomile 'tea' is an herbal infusion made from dried chamomile flowers and hot water, though does not contain black, green, yellow or white tea (Camellia sinensis). There are two main types of chamomile that are used to produce the infusion; German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). Chamomile 'tea' is said to be a digestive relaxant.[12]

Medical use

German Chamomile has been used for treatment of inflammation associated with hemorrhoids when topically applied.[13] There is level B evidence that German chamomile possesses anti-anxiety properties and could be used to treat stress and insomnia.[9]

Pharmacology

Major chemical compounds present within chamomile include apigenin and alpha-bisabolol.[3][9] Other compounds in chamomile include: sesquiterpenes, terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins such as herniarin and umbelliferone, phenylpropanoids such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid, flavones such as apigenin and luteolin, flavanols such as quercetin and rutin, and polyacetylenes.[3][13] Apigenin has demonstrated chemopreventive effects against cancer cells in the laboratory,[14] and alpha-bisabolol has been shown to have antisepticproperties, anti-inflammatory properties, and reduces pepsin secretion without altering secretion of stomach acid.[13]
Anticancer effect – Studies have shown that chamomile extracts have in vitro growth inhibitory effects on cancer cells in skin, prostate, breast, ovarian, prostate cancer cell lines with minimal effects on normal cells.[3]
Anticoagulant effect – Coumarin compounds in chamomile such as herniarin and umbelliferone may have blood-thinning properties. However, the mechanism is not well understood.[15]
Antiinflammatory effect – Several chemical constituents of chamomile such as bisabolol, chamazulene, apigenin, and luteolin possess anti-inflammatory properties although the exact mechanism is not well characterized.[3]
Antispasmodic/antidiarrheal effects – Bisabolol and flavonoids have demonstrated antispasmodic effects in animal experiments. In human studies, chamomile tea in combination with other herbs (vervain, licorice, fennel, balm mint) was shown to be effective in treating colic in children. Flavonoids and coumarins are considered smooth muscle relaxants.
CNS/sensory effects - Chemical compounds present within chamomile bind to GABA receptors, modulate monoamine neurotransmission, and have neuroendocrine effects.
