Chamomile tea offers several health benefits, including clearing liver heat, improving vision, enhancing mental alertness, and lowering cholesterol levels.
It can also help alleviate gastric acid reflux and muscle aches caused by the common cold. Additionally, chamomile tea may serve as an adjunctive therapy for insomnia, headaches, and migraines. For individuals with gastroenteritis, regular consumption of chamomile tea may help relieve abdominal pain. However, individuals with known allergies should use chamomile tea with caution.
