Healing Quest: Herbal Insight - Chamomile

@itsnotcoldenough and other than the actual tar that's in any kind of smoke, it's not harmful as far as I have read.

@itsnotcoldenough I like smoking chamomile. It makes you really really relaxed and sleepy. one bowl of chamomile smoked is way more effective than three or four cups of the tea.

Wow i did not expect this stuff to taste good at all. I put some agave nectar in and i like the flavor better than standard green or black tea. Its scrumdiddlyumptious

Smoking it isn't any worse for your lungs than a cigarette. I have anxiety and depression, and sometimes I smoke chamomile just to take the edge off things. It's definitely not a way to get high, it just mellows you out. Smells pretty nice too when its burnt. Although you'll get the same benefits just from drinking it.

I have a jar of some store bought chamomile but it has the stems and those heads on it, i have general anxiety disorder and sometimes can't sleep, drinking it doesn't really help. Marijuana does put me to bed, but when i don't have pot is it safe to smoke chamomile? Are the effects of smoking it stronger then drinking? Please reply.

@ItsNotColdEnough Don't smoke chamomile tea. Inhaling any smoke into the lungs isn't a good idea.

@allogenes37 Thats not true, i believe it was rosemary leaves and colt-foot lessen asthma symptoms. Other than the smoke being bad for your lungs, does the herb itself have any harmful effects when smoked?
