Chamomile and Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

Chamomile is probably the best-known calming herb in the Western world — it has been used for centuries to ease tension and prepare the body for sleep. What many people do not realise is that German chamomile, in particular, has a broader range of traditionally documented uses: supporting healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, easing respiratory discomfort from colds, and soothing sore muscles and headaches. Nourilo pairs it with goji berries because the two complement each other beautifully — chamomile calms and cools while goji nourishes the liver and eyes, making this a particularly good combination for people who spend hours in front of a computer. Among the varieties Nourilo has tried, he finds German chamomile to have a gentler, slightly sweet flavour compared to Roman chamomile, and it tends to be free of the mould problems that affect the cheaper domestic-grown varieties.

    Compared with placebo (n=80), the goji juice group (n=81) reported greater improvements in several self-rated symptoms, including stress, mental acuity, sleep quality and overall well-being, under a random effects model.Limitation: Outcomes were self-reported symptom questionnaires, and several symptoms showed significant heterogeneity across the four pooled trials of a single branded juice.PubMed 22897500 · 3 more goji berries studies
