Art Meditation - Chamomile

Sometime things in life gets a bit overwhelming and we just a moment to unplug and reset.  For me art used to be a very big part of my life and was even my focus in college.  Though it has been ages since I have even drawn anything I figured I needed a moment for my self and just draw.  Get lost in color and line work with zero intentions on what I would create.  Letting the music i was listening to and a bag full of different colored markers to inspire me to just get lost in my art.  During this moment one of the rough sketches I did ended up being that of Chamomile.  A lovely well known herb.

Did you know Chamomile isn't just a Nervine? 
When people think of Chamomile they usually associate it with it's calming effect.  As a mellow nervine it can definitely help reduce stress and bring ourselves back to our center.  But this special herb is also a Carminative.  It can help aid in digestion by alleviating gas and bloating in your digestive system.  Chamomile also has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties.  These can also support soothe spasms and discomfort in the muscles working your digestive system.  Chamomile can even stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, promoting better digestion.  If you deal with some discomfort from gas and bloating after you eat maybe you can try taking some chamomile before or even after meals?  You can even use Chamomile as part of a topical treatment.  Topical won't aid in digestion, but chamomile's anti-inflammatory properties could help support mild skin irritations.

Ways to Enjoy Chamomile:

• Tea: Brew a cup of chamomile tea and enjoy its soothing flavor and calming effects.
• Tincture: Take chamomile in tincture form. (Or find a Bitter blend that includes Chamomile)
• Topical use: Apply chamomile-infused creams or lotions to soothe skin irritation.
  

Important Considerations:

• Allergic reactions: While rare, some people may be allergic to chamomile.

Chamomile is generally pretty safe for everyone except for the rare few who may be allergic to this herb.  If you are allergic and are looking for herbal support with digestion you should work with a Clinical Herbalist like myself or Someone in your local area.  We can help you find alternative herbs that can give you the same benefits and work best for you.
Incorporating chamomile into your daily routine can be a natural and effective way to alleviate digestive discomfort and promote overall well-being.
