9. Reduces Menstrual Pain
Menstruationoccurs whenever blood and tissues which make up the lining of uterus are discharged from the vagina. Dysmenorrhea, also known as period cramps, is a common occurrence for most women during menstruation. Menstrual cramps are the cause of this pain; they are a throbbing, cramping sensation in the lower abdomen. Chamomile tea can be a great remedy for this.
Chamomile contains compounds that increase the glycine levels in the body. Glycine, a chemical found in chamomile, relieves muscle spasms while relaxing the uterus. Chamomile tea’s antispasmodic and pain-relieving properties can reduce the production and pain of prostaglandins.
