Well I have got a herbal ''evening'' tea mixture with Chamomile in it, together with Lavender, Sweet Mint and Valerian. The Tea always relaxes my body and calms my mind a great deal.
As you can Read
HERE on erowid.org Chamomile is in classification of effects a Sedative and also an Anxiolytic. Sedatives work to Relax the Body mainly and Anxiolytics work to decrease stress, fear and nervousness by Calming down the Mind.
Chamomile works good for that, however only has Mild Sedative and Anxiolytic effects.
I wonder what substances IN the Chamomile are responsible for these effects.
So this brings me on an Idea for an Experiment:
Maybe I can make an Extract of those substances so they will be more potent in low doses.
You could make Chamomile Extract Tea.
I don't know the Sedative Substance in Chamomile so I don't know what trick will do the job of extracting it.
I might gunna have to try and look that information up.
But since Chamomille-Tea is already mildly Sedative&Anxyolitic, Maybe I can amplyfie the effects X100 by simply making a VERY strong well extracted Tea of Chamomile. Maybe like this:
I can start by trying to simmer Chamomile in water for a long time. Sometimes simply heat and water can Extract substances from herbs and plantmaterials into the water(Same with Teine and caffeine holding Teaherbs in your avarege Teabag).
I can try doing this over and over again with a handfull of the dried chamomile yellow parts of the flowers, each time Pooring off the Simmered, ''chamomile sedative sunbstance''-rich, water into a seperate Jar, adding new water and some new water to the Chamomile still in the pan, simmer it again, poor it off and repeat the Process about 5 times or so. The result MIGHT be a watersolution very rich of the Sedative&Anxiolytic Substance in Chamomile left in the Seperate jar.
You could then either drink the, in the meanwhile, cooled down Chamomile/water-drink or Reheat the water, poor it into a mug and add a Teabag and some Sweet Mint to make a tasty and potently sedative/anxiolytic Tea. I would add too much sugar. No more than 2 humble teaspoons or it'll have a Stimulant effect, counter effecting the Sedative effect and we don't want that the slightest bit.
I'm going to make myself a Chamomile tea right now.
And tomorrow I'm going too try and make extra strong, purer and more potent Chamomile-extract Tea.
