3. Chamomile Tea Supports Skin Health
Chamomile tea has both skin and health benefits in abundance. The beautiful chamomile flower is native to the lands of Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America, and blooms during the early summer months. Chamomile contains “chamazulene,” an aromatic chemical compound that possesses analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties.
By drinking chamomile tea, it calms the mind and body and also has a beneficial effect on the skin as well. Add a few drops of chamomile essential oil to your bathwater and treat the symptoms of scaly and itchy skin. You can also apply used chamomile tea bags directly to the skin and the eyelids to reduce the presence and formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that relieve skin irritations including those symptoms associated with skin disorders like eczema and rosacea. The polyphenols and phytochemicals in chamomile tea speed up the healing process of scars and minimize wrinkles while eliminating free radicals that cause the signs of aging.
