Although Chamomile tea is considered extremely beneficial for health, under certain conditions it can harm the body. This was pointed out by pediatrician Marcelo Andrade, who represents the San Juan de Deu Hospital in Barcelona.

The doctor emphasized that in some cases the body reacts extremely negatively to the active components contained in certain plants. This is also true for chamomile. Tea based on the latter can be dangerous for young children.

The latter's organs are not yet sufficiently developed, which prevents them from properly metabolizing the active substances of plants. Against this background, it is not worth experimenting at home.

Often parents try to rid their child of colic with such a drink. Sometimes the effect can be unpredictable, starting from a slight worsening of the condition and ending with more serious consequences.

It also happens that the infusions lead to kidney failure, heartburn, and bleeding. Unpleasant consequences may include vomiting, dehydration, and clouding of consciousness. Each specific case depends on the herb used.
