Make your own Chamomile Tea for health and skin benefits

A Calming Ritual for Wellness, Skincare & Sustainable Living

We believe in the beauty of simple rituals — the kind that nourish your body, calm your spirit, and care for your skin. Make your own chamomile tea at home, and explore how this golden flower supports wellness, skincare, and sustainable, natural living.

You’ll need:

  • 1–2 teaspoons dried chamomile flowers (or 1 tea bag)
  • 1 cup freshly boiled water
  • Optional: a slice of lemon or a drizzle of raw honey

Method:

  1. Add chamomile to your cup or teapot.
  2. Pour over hot (but not boiling) water.
  3. Cover and let steep for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Strain if using loose flowers.
  5. Sip slowly and mindfully.

💡 Tip: Make it a ritual — brew it while you apply your evening face oil or soak in a bath.


Internal Calm & Restorative Benefits

Chamomile tea is known for its soothing effects on the nervous system, digestion, and immune response. Perfect for moments of rest, recovery, or stress relief.

Top Benefits for Wellness:

  1. Supports better sleep and relaxation
  2. Eases tension, stress and mild anxiety
  3.  Gentle digestive support — helpful after meals
  4. Natural anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial properties


Glow From the Inside Out

What’s good for your body is often good for your skin. Chamomile helps soothe the skin both internally (when you drink it) and externally (as a tea compress or infused ingredient in your routine).

Chamomile’s Skin-Loving Properties:

  • Calms inflammation and reduces redness
  • Rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals and premature aging
  • Excellent for sensitive, eczema-prone or dry skin
  •  Ideal companion to our calming face and hair oil, healing balm or bath soak

Use it topically too: Cooled chamomile tea can be used as a facial toner, compress for puffy eyes, or added to DIY face masks.

 

Simple, Local, and Intentional

Chamomile has long been used in traditional herbal medicine across cultures — often grown in home gardens and harvested by hand. Its gentle nature makes it a sustainable, low-impact ingredient.

 

We celebrate locally grown botanicals and intentional living. Our skincare reflects this — honouring the power of plants like chamomile, marigold, impepho and rose geranium, to name a few.
