Chamomile tea can be effective in relaxing the mood and inducing sleep. You can also take chamomile in pill form, as an extract, or as an essential oil. Studies have been conducted that show chamomile has anxiolytic and antidepressant effects.40 Chamomile tea also offers the great benefits of relaxing the muscles and reducing irritability.
