In a study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Mathew A. Shore reported that chamomile extract in doses of 220mg 1-5 times a day was effective in relieving general anxiety disorder and depression. The study was randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled. Side effects were much more common in the placebo group. A soothing cup of chamomile tea appears to be a very safe, effective way to lessen the effects of stress.
