It's a good idea to keep your immune system working at its peak, especially during cold and flu season.

Chamomile is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs known to mankind. It is one of the oldest and most popular medicinal herbs, but it has also become one of the best studied by modern medicine. According to one medical paper, more than one million cups of camomile tea are consumed per day around the world.

Besides being a great herb to help you unwind, chamomile tea contains compounds that may actually increase production of white blood cells, macrophages and B-lymphocytes, which work to destroy viruses, bacteria and fungi.

Studies have shown that regular consumption of chamomile tea boosts the immune system, which protects against many health problems - and even the common cold.

Chamomile tea is most commonly known for its calming effects and is frequently used as a sleep aid. Chamomile contains apigenin, a compound that has anti-anxiety effects.

Other traditional uses for chamomile are treating upset stomach, easing cramps, and as a topical ointment for wounds, eczema and chickenpox.
