Sipping a hot cup of chamomile tea before bed has a centuries-long history as an insomnia remedy. Now, a new study published in the latest BMC Complementary & Alternative Medicine has found that the supplemental form of chamomile promotes shut-eye in adults suffering from insomnia.

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 34 adults, researchers gave the group either a placebo or 250mg of chamomile. They found that chamomile modestly improved the amount of sleep that the participants experienced. The researchers note that chamomile helps increase levels of GABA –an important neurotransmitter in the brain that promotes healthy sleep patterns.
