Chamomile

Chamomile is know by its Latin name of Matricaria Chamomilla and by one of its more common names of German chamomile. Belongs to the daisy flower family and is indigenous to Europe and Asia.

It has many different properties, but is mainly known for its relaxation properties. It also has anti-flammatory and antispasmodic properties.

It is used for a wide array of ailments from arthritis and rheumatism to digestive disorders.

However it is very well known for sleep disorders and related nervous conditions.

It is used for hemorrhoids to calm the pain and to help with the process of healing as an anti-flammatory agent.

It is consumed mainly as a tea to drink, but also comes as an oil to rub.

I have used this herb on a daily basis for my hemorrhoids, but it just did nothing for me. Even the calming side of things it did not work.

At the time my pain was so intense that the sedation was nowhere near strong enough to calm me down.

However once you have got rid of your hemorrhoids. I recommend a cup of chamomile tea every night as an excellent gentle sedative to get a good nights sleep.
