My understanding is that you can drink nice cooling mint tea instead of the chamomile.

I believe chamomile is related to ragweed

I had seen warnings about echinacea and ragweed, but I don’t remember ever seeing anything about chamomile, so that one blindsided me. I’ll take a look at Bach’s. Thanks.

It’s only funny in hindsight. At the time I was rather, ahem, cranky.

I made the unfortunate discovery of reacting to chamomile from a ragweed allergy some years ago. And chamomile is in almost all natural beauty products as well.

I also have cross-reacted to echinacea. A soothing tea alternative is mint — good for settling stomachs and the soul alike I can also second good results with Bach’s rescue remedy.

Oh no, that’s not a funny story! Doesn’t it stink when you think you’re doing something good and it ends up making it worse? Grrr.

My kids aren’t little any more, and things are generally calmer now, but not too long ago, I kept reaching for my little bottle of Bach’s Rescue Remedy. A former boss had gotten me to try it, and I was skeptical, but it worked great for me.
