Chamomile before bed: What science says about the popular habit
A warm cup of chamomile is a favorite evening habit for many people in Greece. Many choose it before going to bed, believing that it helps relax the body and mind after a tiring day.
Scientific research conducted in recent years has examined whether chamomile actually improves sleep quality. The results indicate that this specific herb contains substances that may have a mild sedative effect on the body.
Despite the positive indications, experts emphasize that chamomile is not a "miracle" solution for severe insomnia. Its effect varies from person to person and often functions more as a relaxation ritual than as a medicinal preparation.
In conclusion, although chamomile is a safe and natural choice to prepare your body for rest, it should not replace medical advice in cases of chronic sleep problems. A balanced daily routine remains the most important factor for quality sleep.
