A new controlled research trial has found that chamomile extract therapy can be effective in treating mild to moderate symptoms related to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). <\/p>\n<p>The study followed patients with moderate GAD who received either chamomile or placebo treatment. Patients who took chamomile extract were found to have a significant decrease in the severity of their anxiety compared to those who received the placebo. <\/p>\n<p>These findings are significant &quot;because many individuals who suffer from GAD do not view their anxiety as a medical condition, [so] self-diagnosis and self-medicating with alternative, over-the-counter remedies is common,&quot; said Michael Van Ameringen and Beth Patterson, who evaluated the study for Faculty of 1000, a website which assesses current scientific research papers.<\/p>\n<p>They added that chamomile may be especially useful for those who are averse to conventional pharmacotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Chamomile has also been touted as a natural remedy for digestive disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn&#8217;s disease and diarrhea. <br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19619702\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/study-finds-chamomile-may-help-relieve-moderate-anxiety-19619702\/\" >http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/&#8230;iety-19619702\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>02.28.10 07:01 PM With tax time just around the corner, many Americans may soon be looking to relieve their stress by drinking chamomile tea.
