Chamomile is possibly the best known of all the herbal teas. 

It is a great herb for children and can help  regulate  emotions, aid sleep, ease teething and tummy issues. 

It is known as ”mother of the gut” and as well as soothing wind and indigestion, is a surprisingly powerful remedy for gastritis. In this case the tea needs to strong (commercially available herbal tea bags are not a medicinal dose). Double bag, or if using loose tea, use one heaped teaspoon per cup (two for a mug) of boiling water, cover, infuse for 10minutes before use.
