Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates whether drinking chamomile tea can improve sleep quality, reduce fatigue, and decrease depression in postpartum women with sleep issues, using a randomized controlled trial with 80 participants.
  • Results showed that women who drank chamomile tea experienced short-term improvements in sleep efficiency and depression symptoms compared to those who received only standard postpartum care, but these effects did not last beyond the 2-week intervention.
  • The research suggests that chamomile tea could be a helpful supplementary remedy for postpartum women experiencing sleep and depression problems, although its benefits appear to be temporary.]
