My 3 year old daughter appears to have conjunctivitis. I went to get the chamomile tea, but I’m all out. Do you think lemon balm tea would help until I get to the store tomorrow?

Hi! I love your site! I am just venturing into the world of all natural living now that I have s baby of my own, but i’m having a tough time getting things to work for me. My daughter has pink eye and I made the chamomile tea and have been wiping her eyes with it every hour. It’s now been over 24 hours and the discharge is going down a little bit but her eyes are still red and puffy. Do you have any suggestions or is there something I can do better?

In reply to Wellness Mama. Can you make this with Chamomile essential oil?

My favourite use of Chamomile is crushed, with rose petals, lavender and oatmeal to make a milk bath!

I was curious about Chamomile for labor and was debating on putting some herbs, along with some lavender EO, in a crock pot with rags for labor.
But now I think I wanna do the tincture as well. Did you bring it to the hospital with you?

I learn so much from your site; I makes my brain go wild with how I can redo my whole household even more with homemade stuff for my kids.
How do you find the time to this all?

Tea before bed, and in bath salt and oils with the essential oil. Roman chamomile and English chamomile are the ones you want to use. I have tried cape chamomile before. It is more rare and has a more sweeter, tangy aroma.

Hi Katie! I love your website and info!

My 6 month old is teething, I believe. I am going to use the Chamomile tincture on his gums. He is also having cold like symptoms (runny/stuffy nose and light cough). What can I do to help him with those symptoms and get rid of them?

Can’t wait to hear from you! Thank you!

I just bought a bottle of Chamomile Calm. The label on the back show other herbs that are mixed in with Chamomile: Woods Betony, Fennel seeds, Hops strobiles and Catnip. Are these herbs safe to give to my 3 year old toddler?

In reply to Stephanie Morán Heald. Up to a tablespoon for adults and a teaspoon for kids, but steep covered to keep the beneficial oils from evaporating...

I have a container with the dried flowers given to me by a friend. How much should I use when making tea, in both strengths, for kids and adults? Thanks

I make a tea and give them a small amount before bed and also make a tincture to put directly on the gums: https://wellnessmama.com/2395/chamomile-tincture/

How do you specifically use the chamomile for a teething 9 month old? I got some from mountain rose herbs, but am not sure if I make a tea with it and give it to him orally. If so, how much? Thanks!

In reply to JoAnne. I just kept the tincture with me and put a dropperful in my mouth during the really rough contractions. I know what you mean about almost being beyond your ability to cope, and it really helped me a lot :-)

I am intrigued by the use during and after labor. I had a drug free labor that was just about beyond my ability to cope with the intensity and hope to find ways to ease the experience for next time around. You said you use it internally? Does that mean you are taking it orally by tincture, or using a form of it vaginally? Thanks for the info!

Just planted a big pot of it! Grows great in containers.

And don’t forget you can grow it! It is fairly easy to grow and looks like a softly scruffy mountain daisy bush. 🙂

There are quite a few chamomile options on the Mountain Rose Herbs page. I’m a newbie as far as herbs go, and I was wondering the specific item you purchase from MRH. I am wanting to make a tincture as well as teas. Thank you!

Here’s my full info on magnesium https://wellnessmama.com/3610/low-magnesium/ . I wouldn’t suggest using chamomile as your only magnesium supplement, but 1-2 capsules a day, or a couple cups of tea will help boost magnesium levels when used with magnesium oil or a magnesium supplement. Thanks for reading 🙂
