"e;Traditionally, Chamomile is used as a mild sedative and anxiolytic. Its sedative effect is believed to be attributable to the flavinoid component, apigenin, which binds to the same receptors as benzodiazepines. Clinical trials on sedative or anxiolytic properties of Chamomile have not been conducted. Nonetheless, chamomile is considered safe by the FDA."e;

"e;In a study which also demonstrated a weak hypertensive effect of chamomile, 12 hospitalized heart patients were given a strong chamomile tea. Ten of them immediately fell into a deep sleep lasting 90 minutes."e;

"e;The oil most often used to combat headaches and migraine isLavandula angustifulia. Equally effective areChamaemelum nobile, M. piperita, O. basilicum, O. marjorana,andR. Officinalis. The choice of oil may depend on the cause, for example, M. piperita works well on a headache caused by digestive disorders. Inhalation from a tissue (or by other means) gives the speediest reaction, through massage of the neck and face, particularly the forehead (using two or three of the above oils in a carrier oil), gives the patient the additional relaxing and soothing benefits of massage."e;
