Roman Chamomile is one of the most universally relied upon herbs for calming both mind and body. Although it is extremely gentle, it works as well as prescription medicine for bringing spasms, cramping, and convulsions to a halt. The technical term for this is antispasmodic.
The asthma attacks could possibly be brought under control in minutes, just by virtue of the bronchial spasms being relieved. This antispasmodic effect is also the reason why Roman Chamomile is relied upon to bring relief to teething or colicky babies, calm upset stomachs and smooth out muscle cramps.
In addition, Roman Chamomile relieves pain and is a nerve sedative-and, as if all that relaxation weren't enough, Roman Chamomile gives the extra gift of being bactericidal. Many of the conditions addressed by the stress-relieving influence of Roman Chamomile are considered psychosomatic, i.e., often directly attributed to one's emotional state.
