9. Reduces Menstrual Pains
Menstruation occurs when blood and tissues that comprise the lining of the uterus is discharged and flows out of the vagina. Most women frequently experience dysmenorrhea (more commonly known as period pains) during their menstruation. The pain is caused by menstrual cramps; throbbing, cramping pain situated in the lower abdomen. This is where chamomile tea works its wonders.
In order to counter the cramps, certain compounds found in chamomile help in increasing the amount of glycine in your body. Glycine is a chemical that relieves muscle spasms and helps the uterus to relax. With its pain-relieving and antispasmodic properties, chamomile tea has the ability to reduce the production of prostaglandins, substances which causes pain and inflammation.
