Chamomile TeaIn addition to being seen as a natural sleep aid due to its sedative qualities, the tea has some shown some antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities in research. From anti aging perspective, the important thing is to notice that the tea contains flavonoids, primarily apigenin, quercetin, patuletin, luteolin and their glucosides. In research, flavonoids have shown anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Relaxation is one of the cornerstones of any anti aging regimen, and chamomile tea may aid in that respect.
