Traditional medicinal use
Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) has been used since more than two thousand years ago to treat menstrual problems, gall bladder, fevers, inflammations, gastrointestinal disorders, as an relaxing infusion and as antiseptic.
One of its active constituents, apigenin, is a flavonoid believed to have some influence over the mild sedative effects claimed by this herb. In recent scientific studies, this flavonoid, apigenin, was found to also act as an anti-inflammatory agent [2]. The National Toxicology Program from the US Government cited in one of its articles[3]:
Pure apigenin is used primarily in research as a protein kinase inhibitor that may suppress tumor promotion and that has anti-proliferating effects
