3 Benefits of Chamomile, Source: Lifescript
1- Anti-inflammatory–Chamomile soothes inflammation both inside and outside of the body. Inside chamomile acts to sooth the smooth muscles lining the digestive tract, relieving irritable symptoms. Outside the body, chamomile is used to treat mild burns, including sunburn, rashes, sores and eye inflammation.
2- Anti-spasmodic–This property of chamomile is responsible for the muscle and nerve-relaxing powers of the herb. It is used commonly to treat anxiety disorders and insomnia, as well as muscle pains. Certain active compounds in chamomile work similar to anti-anxiety medications, which promote relaxation in the brain and nervous system.
3- Anti-bacterial herb–Chamomile fights bacterial infections by destroying the very bacteria that cause them. One of chamomile’s active ingredients, Azulene, directly fights staph and strept infections. By destroying the bacteria that cause infections, chamomile helps to speed up recovery time.
About Us: With the aim of fresh, whole, affordable foods for all, Bluebird began as a sustainability initiative offering community garden space and Adopt-a-Row options to low income, intown families and anyone who wanted to grow their own foods. When crops, grown by the local 4-H members and other community garden growers, began to be harvested, Bluebird Market was launched as a local farmers market on June 6, 2009 where local farmers, growers and producers were invited to market their products. With requests to establish a weekly food share box and organic co-op by working with local growers and producers, Bluebird CSA was approved as a multiple farm CSA by Local Harvest.org.
