Herb of the Month: Chamomile

Herb of the Month: Chamomile

Posted by TriLight Health on Feb 21st 2026

Chamomile is known as one of the most popular teas in the world. Its wonderful, calming nature has made it a common fixture in many bedtime routines. Just as Peter Rabbit’s mother gave him chamomile when he was feeling ill, it is commonly given to children for irritability or stomach issues. Chamomile can be found in a variety of herbal preparations and is loved by herbalists and Western medicine practitioners alike. From ancient Egyptian cosmetics to modern digestion and sleep support, chamomile is one of the most versatile herbs in our lineup.

Traditional Herbal Uses of Chamomile:

  • Anxiety
  • Colic
  • Digestion
  • Eye wash
  • Headache
  • Inflammation
  • Insomnia
  • Teething
  • PMS
  • Skin health
  • Stomach pain/nausea
  • More!

Note- If you have any allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family, there is a chance you will have an allergy to chamomile. This includes any ragweed allergy. It is generally one of the least allergenic plants in this family. Your healthcare provider may approve the use of chamomile in small amounts.

Contract Ease
LivCare
Lympha Rub
Mastitix
Morning Soothe
Original Herbal Minerals
Peace Treaty
- Snooze EZ
- Worm Out


Here is a bit of information about each product-

Blue Green Minerals with Calcium and Magnesium is our kid-favorite herbal multivitamin. It tastes so delicious, kids even ask to take it! We add calcium and magnesium, along with blue-green algae, to our nutrient-rich herbal blend to create these herbal vitamins. 

"I love this product. It has a great taste that makes me actually look forward to taking my daily dose!" Elizabeth

LivCare contains herbs traditionally used for liver and gallbladder support- without tasting awful! 

"Really love this powerful herbal remedy- and it tastes good!" Tatiana

Lympha Rub is our best-seller and has almost 400 reviews!! It's full of herbs and essential oils that can be used topically or taken internally in a few drops. Customers love how versatile it is and that this tiny little bottle can last for months because you only need a couple of drops every time. 

"I've used this for years. It really works! My daughter would ask for it when she was little because of the relief it brought, and now that she's living on her own she makes sure to keep it on hand. We love it!" Trudi

- Peace Treaty was created by the Cherokee herbalist, Medicine Bear. It contains herbs traditionally used to support the nervous system during times of anxiety, sleep disturbance, and restlessness. It has found a particular niche among the ADHD/ADD community.

"This is the best anybody ever came up with. I have been taking it for years. Thank you! Thank you!' Brenda

Worm Out is another Cherokee herbal formula. This is the most delicious and easy-to-use herbal parasite cleanse product on the market. Plus, it is much gentler than most other options. Customers even report their children being sad when their cleanse is over because they liked the taste so much! 

"My kids will take this because it doesn't taste terrible like others we've tried. I've taken it too and it's very easy to drink with a little lemon water." Heather

Chamomile during pregnancy and postpartum formulas-

These are all midwife-approved, and many were designed with the help of midwife and herbalist, Shonda Parker. We have been in business for 35 years and have had multiple generations of mothers using these formulas for pregnancy and postpartum use. You'll find these in midwives' bags and birth centers around the country. Some of our best reviews have come from mothers with multiple children who discovered our products later. These moms give great feedback on how our herbs work during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum compared to their experiences without them. 

Contract Ease is our afterbirth blend. It contains herbs traditionally used to relax the uterus and support the nervous system during after childbirth contractions. 

"After 8 natural births there are some things that you figure out. This product I found and began using 3 children ago and consider it to be an essential for a post-labor mom. I begin taking it very soon after I have delivered and continue to ingest every time I nurse for the first few hours. The small bottle is the perfect size for 1 woman to use after delivery." Jessica

Mastitix is our wildly popular and delicious mastitis support formula. It is one that lactation consultants and midwifery clinics love to keep on hand when mothers need it. We have also heard from many moms with multiple children, who always make sure to keep this in their medicine chest while nursing. 

"This is a must have in every nursing mother's cupboard. (I have even given this as a baby shower gift) I have nursed all 6 of our children and there is nothing more effective. " Tia

- Morning Soothe is full of herbs for morning sickness that have been traditionally used for centuries. It's easy to keep in your purse to use for "all day" sickness, too. Many families also like it during times of digestive discomfort when not pregnant. 

"After seven pregnancies with varying durations of nausea and vomiting (some even during labor), I'm so thankful to have found this natural, herbal solution! I'm going to order more for this eighth pregnancy." Meggan

Original Herbal Minerals is one of the only herbal multivitamins for pregnancy on the market. It's also one of the only 100% natural prenatal vitamins available. That's right, it contains no synthetic ingredients, fillers, or thickening agents. It is easy to take and can be added to water and sipped on all day, if desired.

"Third trimester arrived and I was hit with insatiable peanut butter cravings (normally a "need B vitamins" sign for me) and chocolate cravings. I mean, I "HAD" to have them every day - sometimes twice daily! - or I'd go distracted. I knew this was probably a sign my body was looking for more nutrients, so I switched from my whole-food multi to this and lo and behold, my peanut butter craving disappeared in 2 days! So apparently I wasn’t absorbing the pills as well as my body needed. Big bonus: my 3yo who can't swallow pills takes this and tells me every day after his dose, "I like vitamins!" MommyMe

- Snooze EZ is full of traditionally used herbs for sleep, restlessness, and anxiety. 

"This is the only thing I've found that helps me sleep this pregnancy! It has been a lifesaver. I especially love that once I am awake, I can immediately shake it off and just appreciate the rest I had." Jane

Note- Chamomile for pregnancy and postpartum has been used for generations and is generally approved by healthcare providers. Make sure to check with your individual provider before using it, or anything else new. Some healthcare providers recommend against large amounts of chamomile in pregnancy. We use moderate amounts in all of our formulas and they have been used for over 30 years.
