• a complex of micro- and macroelements (zinc, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium);
• organic acids (salicylic, caprylic, phenolcarboxylic, isovaleric);
• biologically active compounds (phytosterols, coumarins, flavonoids, matricin, chamazulene, matricarin, as well as derivatives of quercetin, apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin);
• essential oil;
• gum, mucus, tannins.

During the brewing process, useful components are not split and do not lose their valuable properties.

On a note! It has been scientifically proven that the use of a pharmacy chamomile entirely for medicinal purposes does not make any sense, since almost all useful substances are concentrated in its inflorescences.

The benefits of chamomile tea

Chamomile tea has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, soothing, bile and diuretic, anti-aging properties. A properly prepared drink will help remove toxic substances from the body, restore normal intestinal microflora, and normalize the work of the endocrine glands.

For a healthy man who does not have a history of serious chronic ailments, regular use of chamomile tea helps to remove toxins from the body, reduce the feeling of fatigue or anxiety, and improve digestive processes (especially in those who are prone to overeating at night).

If we talk about certain pathologies, then a decoction of chamomile is useful for violations in the gastrointestinal tract:

• pain in the epigastric zone;
• inflammatory processes in the stomach, liver, gall bladder;
• increased gas production;
• chronic constipation;
• intestinal infections and poisoning;
• decreased appetite;
• slow metabolism;
• gastric bleeding.

And also for other health problems:

1. Acute respiratory infections and chronic diseases of the respiratory system - flu, sore throat, bronchitis, bronchial asthma.
2. Gout, rheumatism, joint pain of various etiologies.
3. Nervous disorders - insomnia, aggression and irritability, depression, migraine.
4. Muscle pain after prolonged physical exertion.

Attention! It is important to realize that in complex conditions, chamomile tea can only be used as an additional treatment to the main course of therapy prescribed by the doctor. So, you can try to get rid of flatulence or sleep disorders only by taking a drink, but with bleeding, bronchitis and other serious pathologies, this remedy will in no way replace the complex use of drugs.

Effects of chamomile tea on the male reproductive system

The benefits and harms of chamomile for men have long been a stumbling block in the scientific community. Some experts argue that such a remedy does not in any way affect the reproductive organs of the stronger sex, while others are sure of the omnipotence of this plant in relation to many ailments. As you know, the truth is somewhere in between, so practicing doctors often prescribe chamomile tea to their patients for:

• improvement and normalization of potency. Considering the fact that the main cause of erectile dysfunction is overwork, strong physical and psychological overload, as well as constant stress, then drinking tea from chamomile flowers is quite advisable. A beneficial effect on potency is due to the fact that a slept, relaxed, calm, confident man is always more prosperous in bed;
• increasing the concentration of testosterone;
• complex treatment of infectious diseases of the reproductive system, as well as prostatitis;
• improving the quality of semen;
• prevention of malignant neoplasms in the reproductive organs.

In any case, in the absence of obvious medical indications and without prior medical advice, men should not use decoctions or chamomile teas on an ongoing basis.

Note! In case of inflammatory ailments of the prostate gland, in addition to internal use, chamomile infusion can also be used as microclysters. Such a procedure will have a pronounced and fairly quick anti-inflammatory effect.

Contraindications

• if you are allergic to this plant;
• people with hypotension, since drinking the drink helps to lower blood pressure;
• with chronic diarrhea - chamomile can provoke even more loosening of the stool;
• patients suffering from serious mental disorders, since the sedative properties of tea can worsen the general condition of such a person.

Note! Too concentrated chamomile tea or excessive consumption of it can cause depression or overly agitation, headache, a significant decrease in muscle tone, nausea or vomiting.

In order to get the most out of the drink, you need to learn the basic rules for its preparation and use:

1. Weak chamomile tea can be consumed no more than 4 times a day.
2. The treatment course can be from two to three months, after which it is better to take a thirty-day break.
3. The chamomile broth is drunk warm (that is, it should not be scalding).
4. The addition of sugar, honey or milk is perfectly acceptable - the beneficial properties of tea will not disappear from this.
5. The optimal time of consumption is one hour after the meal.
6. If for herbal teas, self-harvested chamomile inflorescences are used, then the raw materials should be collected in ecologically clean areas, far from industrial facilities or highways.

Brewing methods for chamomile tea

There are several methods for preparing chamomile-based drinks:

• infusion. Concentrated substance, which is prepared at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. plant flowers per 200 ml of boiling water. It is necessary to insist such a remedy for about 20 minutes, then strain and wait until it cools down to a warm state;
• broth. A tablespoon of raw materials is poured into 250 ml of cold water, after which it is placed in a water bath and simmered for half an hour. Next, you need to insist the broth for about 15 minutes, strain, and then bring with boiled water to the volume that was originally;
• tea. A tablespoon of inflorescences is poured with a glass of boiling water, kept for 15–20 minutes;
• an addition to the usual types of tea (green or black). A small amount of chamomile is added to your favorite drink and brewed in the usual way.

There is an effective recipe with the addition of chamomile for purely male ailments. To improve potency and enhance libido in equal proportions, combine:

1. inflorescences of pharmacy chamomile;
2. currant leaves;
3. dry nettle leaves;
4. rowan and blueberry berries.

Next, two liters of drink should be brewed in a thermos, taking as a calculation the proportion of a teaspoon of the mixture to a glass of boiling water. The entire volume must be drunk per day. The duration of the treatment course is one and a half to two months.

To increase sexual desire, you can also drink about 5 ml of wine infused with pharmacy chamomile before the intended sexual intercourse.

If the use of chamomile water extracts is planned not for the purpose of pampering yourself, but for specific medical indications, then it is better to check with the doctor which method of preparation is most optimal in this case.

Knowing the beneficial properties and contraindications of chamomile, every man can not only improve the work of his body, cleanse it of accumulated toxins, improve erectile function, calm the nervous system, but also diversify his daily diet with a useful and home-like "cozy" drink.

Is there any harm from chamomile infusion?

In some cases, chamomile tea can be harmful. In particular, chamomile has properties to stimulate the uterus. That is why such a drink is taboo during pregnancy. This can provoke a threat of miscarriage and worsen the course of pregnancy in general.

While breastfeeding, chamomile tea is not considered taboo. However, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist and pediatrician. This will eliminate the likelihood of a negative effect on the woman's body and on the child.

Chamomile tends to thin the blood. That is why, if a surgical or dental operation is planned, it is necessary to stop drinking the drink. Also, you can not take chamomile when taking any medications, since the plant leads to an increase in the action of these pharmaceuticals, which is not always beneficial.

Chamomile drink is an amazing tea that is famous for its many beneficial properties. If you approach its use reasonably, it will bring exceptional benefits to the body. Enjoy your tea!
