Because chamomile has been successfully shown to block receptors in the brain triggering stress as well as regulate certain chemicals, it is very popular among women experiencing hormonal fluctuations.
The mood swings and irrational anger and sadness felt by some women each month are caused by an unstable level of hormones in the body.
The same compounds in chamomile which prevent stress, depression, and anxiety, block signals from certain hormones to your brain.
Not only will chamomile regulate the chemicals in your brain so your mood will be more consistent, but you are more likely to settle in a consistently positive attitude than a negative one.
The antidepressant properties can prevent sadness, while regulating of cortisol will prevent angry outbursts and stress. Chamomile is also effective at blocking the COX enzyme, which means you will feel less pain or discomfort and won’t feel so tense.
Scientific studies show that when drunk regularly, chamomile can help reduce mood swings brought on by the menstrual cycle and promote a calmer attitude.
