Useful Chamomile Flowers

Here are some very useful ways to use chamomile flowers, dry or fresh:

• 
  
  • Chamomile tea is said to relieve (pre)menstrual cramps better than any painkiller (and without side-effects!).
  
  • Chamomile infusion (steep large amount of chamomile flowers in hot water for 15 minutes; let cool before using) makes a wonderfully soothing and aromatic bath.
  
  • Lukewarm chamomile tea rinse brings golden highlights to brown hair and makes blond hair lighter.
  
  • Chamomile combined with neutral henna adds highlights even to very dark hair.
