Chamomille has been consumed in the form of tea in many different countries over the past 30 years. There is increasing scientific evidence which indicates that chamomille tea can inhibit the enzymes which are responsible for causing diabetic complications and it contains phytonutrients that can actually decrease blood sugars.
Recent studies out of the University of Toyama in Japan and The Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research in the United Kingdom support these health claims. In the studies, chamomille extract was added to the diets of diabetic lab rats for 21 consecutive days. Concurrently, a control group of diabetic rats were administered a daily diet of food without the presence of chamomille for the same 21 day period.
The results of the study indicated that the rats fed without chamomille did not change. Nearly 100% of the chamomille-fed rats showed lowered blood sugar levels. They also had lower levels of two enzymes which work to cause diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy (cataracts), retinopathy (retinal damage of the eye) and nephropathy (kidney damage).
This wonderful study suggests that daily consumption of chamomille tea 
could lead to the prevention of the progress of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) as well as diabetic complications.
