Chamomile tea is one of the most popular herbal tea choices out there. It is often seen as a caffeine-free alternative to green tea or black tea. It is also liked for its sweet and earthy taste. To top that off, there are many chamomile tea benefits for your skin and other aspects of your health. Read on to find out more about what they are in this article!
Improve Sleep Quality
It’s not uncommon for your skin to break out after a night of bad sleep. If you know that bad sleep or a lack of sleep is causing issues for your skin, improving your sleep quality is the logical first step to take. This can be achieved through numerous ways, such as avoiding screen time and taking a relaxing bath before bed — whatever works best for you.
One thing that many people find helpful is taking a cup of chamomile tea before bed. Chamomile tea contains apigenin, which is an antioxidant that helps to promote feelings of sleepiness and relaxation. That is why so many people swear by having a bedtime cup of chamomile tea, and you just may find that it helps you too!
Help in Managing Blood Sugar Levels
Keeping your blood sugar levels at a healthy level can help to ensure clear skin. You may have noticed that your skin starts to break out or gets oily after binging on chocolates or other foods that are high in sugar levels.
Chamomile tea can help to lower your blood sugar levels due to its anti-inflammatory properties. This prevents damage from being caused to the cells in your pancreas, which is very important as the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin. Preliminary findings based on animal studies suggest that chamomile tea can help to prevent blood sugar levels from spiking after a meal.
Improve Heart Health
When it comes to monitoring heart health, your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are important figures to look at. As chamomile tea is rich in flavones, which is a type of antioxidant, it has the potential to lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels to maximize your health.
Although more research is required on this end, preliminary findings indicate that chamomile tea, when consumed with meals, can help to bring down total cholesterol and bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. When your heart is healthy, you can be sure that this reflects in your skin and outward appearance!
