In my quest to address my insomnia, I ended up drinking Camomile Tea before I go to sleep. It worked for me and I had a very relaxing sleep even during my first time to drink Camomile Tea. I was really amazed how effective it is that even Ace would drink the tea before going to bed. The next morning, he will wake up well-rested even if he slept late. Aside from being an effective sleeping aid for insomniacs, Camomile tea has other benefits like alleviating pain so when I had menstrual cramps last night, the Camomile tea has been so helpful to ease the pain. Instead of throwing the used teabags, I put it in the fridge and make it as a compress over my eyes when I sleep because it is said to lighten dark circles. It may not be the best eye cream to lighten dark eye circles but at least it will lighten the skin minus the effort and the expenses because you will only recycle the used teabag. Isn’t that great?

I’ve read that camomile lightens the skin so it helps with the dark spots under the eyes. One article suggested putting bags of camomile tea as a compress over the eyes when you sleep to lighten the skin under the eyes. Being a fan of natural remedies, I tried it one time. The whitening will take time but the instant effect? It relieves tired eyes! So amazing. I wonder if it will also help reduce fine lines and work as wrinkle cream. If yes, then I would probably be putting teabags over my eyes everytime I sleep.

I’ve been drinking Camomile (Chamomile) Tea to treat my insomnia. So far it works from the day I started drinking it. Hence my nighttly routine includes steeping Camomile Tea and drinking around 2 tea cups minutes before going to bed. The result is amazing! It does not only make me sleep in no time but I had the most relaxing sleep ever! Feels like I have slept for 8 hours when it’s actually just four hours. I’m well-rested so no groggy and fussy mornings.

Here are some health benefits of Camomile:

1. Remedy for stomach cramps
2. Remedy for insomnia
3. Remedy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
4. Remedy for Migraine Headache
5. Remedy for pre-menstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps
6. Burns and scrapes
7. Skin lightening
8. Reducing dark circle around the eyes
9. Skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema (I’ve seen eczema pictures before and after treatment and I must say it works!) , chickenpox, and diaper rash.

The list is actually long. What’s important for me now is that I don’t have to wait for the clock to strike four AM before my eyes will shut. If you have any of the problems above, try drinking Camomile Tea or using camomile as poultice or concoction (for skin problems) and you’ll be amazed with the result.
