| | German Chamomile |
 | | Chamomile has been used to treat a variety of conditions including chest colds, sore throats, abscesses, gum inflammation (gingivitis), psoriasis, acne, eczema, psoriasis, minor first degree burns, inflammatory bowel disease (namely, ulcerative colitis), stomach ulcers, and children's conditions such as chickenpox, diaper rash, and colic. |
 | | In Europe, chamomile is commonly used as a digestive aid, to treat mild skin conditions, menstrual cramps, insomnia, and as a tension reliever. |
 | | Highly concentrated chamomile tea may cause vomiting, however, and those who are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, asters or feverfew should avoid chamomile because it is in the same plant family. |
