Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes-the cells that produce pigment. Melanoma may begin in association with a mole. Melanocytes produce a pigment called melanin that gives the skin its colour and protects it from sun damage. Darker skin has more melanin and more protection.
There is no standard dose of chamomile. Studies have used between 400 milligrams to 1,600 milligrams daily in capsule form. The most common form is a tea, and some people drink one to four cups daily. To make chamomile tea, steep a chamomile tea bag or chamomile flowers in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes in a mug covered with a saucer. Then, drink the infusion when it has cooled to the point it is safe to drink. Ask your doctor for other advice.
While chamomileâs effectiveness in humans hasn't been scientifically proven, animal studies confirm that small amounts seem to relieve anxiety, while larger quantities aid sleep. UMMC suggests drinking 3 to 4 cups of chamomile tea each day for both sleeplessness and anxiety. Use either one teabag or 2 to 3 tsp. of loose tea for every cup of water. The UMMC states pregnant and nursing women should not consume the tea, which could increase the risk of miscarriage.
