Matricaria recutita,seed,plant,herb,tea

Sleep apnea is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that affects nearly one billion people around the world, but often goes undiagnosed. It results in repeated pauses in breathing several times in a night that last for more than 10 seconds during sleep. These pauses can occur several times in a night. Sleep apnea is usually due to an obstruction of the air passage during sleep. Noted music director Bappi Lahiri died recently due to a cardiac arrest triggered by sleep apnea.

Although there is much more awareness now than there was in 2009, one can still easily overlook the signs, which can be diagnosed (through sleep tests) and addressed with medical intervention.

German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) contains some compounds that can relax the nerves and muscles, promote sleep and even cause sedation. All these things are what you need to deal with apnea effectively.

In addition to all these excellent properties, the herb also has some anti-inflammatory properties which can eliminate any obstruction in the airways and hence also prevent snoring.

You can add a few teaspoons of the dried herb to hot water and steep for a couple of minutes or use it to make herbal bedtime tea that you should take about an hour before going to bed.
