Abstract in brief
- This pilot study tested whether chamomile extract is safe and effective for treating chronic primary insomnia in adults, using a randomized, placebo-controlled design with 34 participants over 28 days.
- The results showed no significant improvements in nighttime sleep measures such as total sleep time, sleep efficiency, or sleep latency between the chamomile and placebo groups, although there were small to moderate benefits in daytime functioning in the chamomile group.
- While chamomile may offer modest daytime benefits and some mixed effects on sleep quality, the study suggests that larger, more targeted research is needed to verify its potential benefits for specific insomnia patients.
