Chamomile (Matricaria camomilla) is a common flowering plant that is indigenous to various parts of central and southern Europe, and northwestern Asia. Chamomile is widely cultivated in the United States, Australia, Argentina, and northern Africa. The dried leaves and flowers are commonly packaged as a tea. It has been used for thousands of years as a sleep aid.

Chamomile tea does not have to be used on a regular basis to be effective as a treatment for insomnia. It can be used any time to provide quick relief for sleeplessness and anxiety. It is most effective when consumed 30-45 minutes before going to bed.

The chemical in Chamomile tea that is purported to promote sleep and have a calming influence is a flavonoid component called "Chrysin." It can also be found in Passion flower, which is another plant that has been found to be effective in the treatment of sleeplessness and anxiety.
