Help please! is drinking too much chamomile tea bad if you have menstrual cramps ?

I do think so: Chamomile has been found to contain fairly strong antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory constituents. Therefore, it has been found to be effective in treating stomach and intestinal cramps. Simply prepare a cup of chamomile tea following the directions on the package and drink it twice a day until while symptoms are present.

Chamaemelum nobile: The major issue you may face if drinking large amounts of chamomile is possible sedation. It should be avoided when taking blood thinners or when pregnant. People with ragweed allergies can sometimes also be allergic to chamomile. Roman (also called english) chamomile (chamaemelum nobile) can be beneficial for reducing symptoms of both premenstrual syndrome & for menstrual cramps.
