1. Tea

Make a STRONG and healthful brew by steeping 1 oz chamomile for 10-15 minutes in 185° water. Drink 2-3 cups of tea daily to support the nervous system and reduce stress.

2. Bath

Brew before bathing to avoid the mess. Just add one cup of chamomile in a one-quart jar of hot water steep until cool, strain and pour into bathtub. You skin will be silky and smell really sweet, promise.

3. Eye pack

Soothe those computer screen-looking eyes and look away for a sec with a warm chamomile press. Fill two compostable tea bags with chamomile, secure, and dampen with warm water. Then lie on your back and chill.

Pro tip: If you don’t have compostable tea bags, you can always rig up a coffee filter or muslin cloth and tie with the string. We keep it real.
