6. Treats cancer
Researchers believe that chamomile may have the ability to fight cancer. The cells that make up our body are the building blocks. As the old cells die, new ones are created. There are times when cells can grow without being needed, and the old ones do not die. A large number of cells can clump together and form a tumour. This leads to cancer.
Chamomile tea can help. A component of chamomile called apigenin is an antioxidant that has been shown to be effective in fighting cancer cells. According to reports, it may even stop these cells from growing. Cancers of the breast, skin, uterus and prostate are among them. A second study found that chamomile may help prevent thyroid cancer. Researchers, however, say that more research is needed to prove chamomile tea’s anticancer properties.
