Antidepressant Activity The study shows that Chamomilla 6cH is related to the recovery of behavioural conditions in mice subjected to stressful conditions. Animals who cohabitated with a sick cage-mate treated with Chamomilla 6cH were less severely affected. Source: Pinto, S. A. G., Bohland, E., de Paula Coelho, C., de Azevedo Morgulis, M. S.

Chamomile essential oil showed advantage on daytime functioning in the experiment. There was about 6.7% decrease in the fatigue scale after using chamomile essential oil. Source: Zick, S.

Chamomile essential oil showed excellent radical scavenging activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.0022 to 0.0041. Free radical scavenging activity of chamomile essential oil could be due to its higher content of phenolic components which were chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid. Such hydroxyl-phenolic compounds can donate hydrogen atoms to DPPH and scavenge it. Source: Roby, M. H. H., Sarhan, M. A., Selim, K. A. H., & Khalel, K. I. (2013).
