Dried flowers of chamomile plant (Matricaria chamomilla L. ) are largely
used to provide sedative as well as spasmolytic effects. Chamomile is a
very popular tea. Chamomile has some antioxidant and antimicrobial
activities, and significant antiplatelet activity in vitro. Animal model
studies indicate potent antiinflammatory action, some antimutagenic and
cholesterol-lowering activities, as well as antispasmotic and anxiolytic
effects. However, human studies are limited.
What's in Chamomile?
The main constituents of the flowers include several phenolic compounds,
primarily the flavonoids apigenin, quercetin, patuletin, luteolin and
their glucosides. Flavonoids have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory
properties. The main components of the essential oil extracted from
chamomile flowers are the terpenoids alpha-bisabolol and its oxides and
azulenes, including chamazulene.
