German Chamomile for Acne and Other Facial Problems

 

Studies in Europe have shown that by utilizing German Chamomile externally on the skin, it can be beneficial for acne, eczema, scars, and other skin related issues.

 

Many so called natural skin products that they sell in most major retailers claim to have German Chamomile infused within them. Don’t be fooled, most of those products contain less than one percent of it within them. The rest of the components are a bunch of chemicals that are anything but natural.

 

If you're going to use it for your face, be sure too buy it from a reputable source, and not some product that contains trace amounts of it.

 

German Chamomile for Muscle Soreness, Aches and Pains

 

Many people have reported that utilizing German Chamomile as an ointment can help to reduce pain and inflammation within your joints and muscles. It can be used for instantly pain relief externally as a liquid, gel, or ointment. Or you can take it in pill or capsule form, the only down side is the effects will take much longer too feel, but it may work longer once you do.

 

German Chamomile for Dental Problems

 

Studies have gone both ways with this one. Some say that German Chamomile can help to cure and alleviate pain and inflammation caused by dental problems, others say it can’t. Many say too use as part of your mouthwash, and that by doing so it can help too benefit tooth and gum related problems.

 

I have used it in the past, and really didn’t notice too much of a difference with it. Others I have spoken with swear by it, so this one you would have too probably try out for yourself too see if it works for you.

 

German Chamomile for Aromatherapy

 

Studies have been found that by inhaling the oil of German Chamomile, it can help to speed up the recovery of colds and flu’s by 30 percent.

 

Now the studies aren’t solid and 100 percent proven, but more research is being done to prove this point. German Chamomile is also excellent in helping to promote restful sleep, and it can also help to promote relaxation.

 

A good way to stay calm in a stressful place or environment is to do this. Buy a small container of the oil, small enough you can carry around in your pocket or purse.

 

Then put a dab on a tissue or cloth of some kind, and smell it while visualizing a peaceful scene in your mind. By doing so you will become more relaxed and able to cope with stress a bit more easily.
