Doctors throughout Europe and in the early settlements of America included chamomile in their medicinal bags because chamomile can cure pain, inflammation, allergies, and digestive issues completely naturally and without side effects.
In A Recent Study published by The Journal of The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, stated that Chamomile extracts were shown to cause minimal growth inhibitory effects on normal healthy cells, but showed significant reduction in human canced cells, especially androgen-refractory cells that often led to prostate cancer.
Evidence shows positive effects of chamomile stopping cancerous tumor growth and acting as a natural cancer treatment.Inhibition of cancerous cell is believed to be due to chamomile antioxidants called apigenin, which are bioactive constituents that appear to help in fighting skin, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers.
According to Research from Alternative therapies in Health and Medicine and Pharmacognosy Review stated that Chamomile, whether in tea, tincture, or essential oil form was one of the best medicinal herbs for fighting stress and promoting relaxation.
