7. Prevents Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease in the bones in which its density and quality decrease. Normally as people age the bones dissolve and create cells simultaneously in a process called remodeling. However, the bones of those with osteoporosis lose cells faster than they can create new ones. This causes the bones to be weak and brittle, and in a worst-case scenario, it may even break just from a light bump or sneeze.
It is hard to detect since it happens silently and in stages, and is only known once the first fracture happens. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, however, it is most susceptible for post-menopausal women to acquire this.
Research has discovered that the extract from chamomile has the ability to help in stimulating the activity of osteoblasts and exhibit an anti-estrogenic effect. Osteoblasts are the cells that create bones. Studies have shown that estrogen may have an effect on the degeneration of the bone. With this in mind, chamomile tea can aid in increasing bone density and may hinder the harmful effects of osteoporosis.
