Chamomile: more than just a pretty flower!

Used as a traditional cure-all for various illnesses and wounds back in the day (and we are talking way back in the days when the Roman Empire existed), the practical application of chamomile has been recognised and appreciated for centuries. And with the plethora of medicinal and health benefits that have transcended through time. Not only is it anti-inflammatory in nature, it is also known to soothe an upset tummy, and help people with skin conditions, like eczema.

Though it may look like the common daisy, this herb definitely packs a punch when it comes to delivering goodness to your body. Much more than just a tea to relax your body after a long day of work, check out these 10 products infused with chamomile that will save your skin.
