Chamomile
In Beatrix Potter’s wonderful childhood tales, Peter Rabbit’s mother used chamomile to put her little bunnies to sleep – and for very good reason! Chamomile has long been known as the world’s most soothing plant and has been used by mothers of many generations to safely relax their young children and induce a state of peaceful sleepiness. Not only does it promote drowsiness, but it also calms digestive upsets and colic, soothes teething toddlers and relaxes anxious children.
