10.Heals Wounds and Skin Disorders
Since ancient times, Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians have used chamomile to promote wound healing and treat injuries. It is believed that chamomile ointments are effective for treating eczema, psoriasis, skin irritations, bruises, burns, canker sores, and other moderate inflammatory skin conditions. Additionally, it is utilized to treat diaper dermatitis and cracked nipples. However, their effectiveness is inferior to that of hydrocortisone ointment.
Matricaria chamomilla, an antioxidant found in chamomile, possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that contribute to the acceleration of the skin’s healing process. Chamomile tea has a wide range of applications. In addition to being consumed as a beverage, the tea bag can be applied to the afflicted area after being moistened. The essential oils will eventually permeate the epidermis and be absorbed. Other options include applying a chamomile balm or a paste made from dried chamomile blossoms.
