Chamomile: The Calmative Ingredient You Need for a Better Night’s Sleep

If you’ve ever tried to put a child to bed after a busy day, you know it can sometimes feel like negotiating with a tiny tornado. Whether it's the excitement from screen time, a lingering cold, or just the jitters from a long day, kids often need help unwinding. At Lollibees, we believe in natural, time-tested remedies and that’s why chamomile is one of the hero ingredients in our HoneySoothe pops.

What Is Chamomile and Why Has It Been Used for Centuries?

Chamomile is a daisy-like flower known around the world for its calming effects. From Ancient Egypt to European folk medicine, this gentle herb has been brewed into tea, turned into tinctures, and even used topically to soothe everything from upset stomachs to restless minds.

Modern science supports what generations of parents already knew. Chamomile can help reduce anxiety and promote better sleep. It contains a powerful antioxidant called apigenin, which binds to certain receptors in the brain and promotes feelings of calm. In a clinical study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, chamomile extract significantly reduced anxiety symptoms in participants after just a few weeks of use.

That’s big news for families looking for gentle ways to help their kids wind down without harsh chemicals or groggy mornings.

Chamomile and Kids: A Natural Ally for Sleep & Soothing

Unlike many synthetic sleep aids, chamomile is caffeine free, non habit forming, and kid friendly. For children over the age of one, it’s often recommended as a safe and soothing herb to ease nighttime anxiety, support digestion, and help the body prepare for rest.

When paired with organic honey, another natural remedy for sore throats and nighttime coughs, chamomile becomes even more effective. That’s why our HoneySoothe pops are a go to for many parents. They deliver comfort in a format kids actually enjoy, turning a stressful moment into a calming one.

Why We Chose Chamomile for HoneySoothe

As moms and founders, we’re incredibly thoughtful about the ingredients we put into our products. We designed HoneySoothe with the real bedtime struggles of real families in mind.

Here’s why chamomile made the cut
• It’s calming. Naturally supports relaxation without artificial sedatives

And of course, we combine it with raw organic honey, natural fruit flavor, and a clean ingredient label. No corn syrup. No artificial sweeteners. No dyes. No preservatives. Just the good stuff.

We made HoneySoothe because we’re parents too. We know what it feels like to stand in the medicine aisle and wish there were something better. Something effective but natural, safe, and truly created with families in mind.
