Re: Insomnia 

Two cents worth of warning: both Chamomile and Lavendar should not be used in excess as both have harsh side effects. Remember, herbs have a build-up effect and should also not be taken for more than three days in a row.

 

Lavendar has a high toxicity and even though it is mildly sedative, can cause some discomfort if taken over prolonged periods of time. Rather have two cups of weak tea daily, for three days and then stop for at least a week to two weeks.

Chamomile (but more particularly Stinking Chamomile -Anthemis cotula - has a tendency to induce vomiting and sweating, and also thins the blood so be careful during pregnancy or before and after an operation.

Re: Insomnia 

"Stinking Chamomile" is actually ragweed and is not really chamomile at all although it is often called by that name, the only safe chamomile to consume is egyptian chamomile.

Nico's warnings are correct though herbs can be very dangerous if not used carefully, allways research whatever herbs you decide to use.

Re: Insomnia 

Wormwood for interest sake is fine to digest but as soon as you burn it, it is poisoness.  I don't think I will ever know everything there is to know about herbs.
