Question 1

should i have chamomile tea or warm milk to fall asleep?

Accepted Answer

Either one : Both are safe natural methods for helping your insomnia that may be beneficial for some people.

Question 2

i don't like green or chamomile tea.so is it alright to have normal milk tea during pms and period?

Accepted Answer

Any tea is: ok but I would avoid putting milk in tea.  It kills the beneficial ingredients of the tea.  Sugar, as you probably know, is never good for you.  Consider drinking jasmine tea.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

is it true that if you drink something warm like chamomile tea after ice-cream, the tea burns off the calories?

Accepted Answer

No: Drinking warm liquid such as chamomile tea will not burn off the calories of ice cream or other foods.  No magic here.

Question 4

i take clonazepam nightly for rem sleep disorder. i only take .25 and was taking .5. id like to not take it someday. anyway, i am having trouble sleeping again. can i drink chamomile tea or will it interact? i dont want to increase clonazepam?

Accepted Answer

: If you do possess a true REM sleep disorder, this can be a precursor to Parkinson's disease,  Lewy Body disease, or MSA.  Clonazepam is NOT my first choice. Instead, melatonin.  See a neurological movement disorder specialist ASAP, and get a second opinion.  No problem with chamomile tea.

Question 5

i have been taking chamomile tea for several months. i noticed my inr went from .9 to 1.1. could this be a factor?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The tea may be contributing to a change in your INR, but that change is insignificant and should have no effects on your health. It is small enough to be variation in the process of the testing.

Question 6

is chamomile tea soothing for upset stomach and good for digesting?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chamomile is soothing and antispasmodic.  You might also consider teas made from ginger and/or fennel, which are both digestive aids.  Ginger has the added bonus of absorbing gas.

Question 7

can you use room temperature chamomile tea wash off a child's eye crust?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but....: Yes.  Not harmful at all.  You can also use a very dilute mixture of baby shampoo and water (1:3) to gently rub the eyelash areas before bed to prevent the crusting from recurring.

Question 8

does chamomile tea help relieve stress, anxiety , and help you sleep well?

Accepted Answer

Chamomile tea: It is reputed to have those effects, but the bottom line is to test it for yourself.  It is not known to be harmful.

Question 9

what are the interactions between chamomile tea and sertraline and risperidone?

Accepted Answer

: I am unable to find any evidence of an interaction in the literature. It is probably safe. However, if you take the risperdone by mouth, you should wait at least 30 minutes after taking it to drink any tea or soda because it can affect absorption.

Question 10

please tell me can drinking chamomile tea affect my ability to donate platelets?

Accepted Answer

No problem: Interesting question as it sounds like you may be aware that chamomile tea is known to prevent platelets from clumping, thus preventing blood clots. This is a good thing, as if platelets clump then they'd be of no use to the person you were donating to. You don't want platelets to clump until you need them to form a blood clot. Effects of chamomile on them should not persist. 
Go ahead and donate!
