>repeat whenever it comes to mind
This really is something. After making it a deliberate response to negative feelings and administrating it like medication it only gets more effective every day. I even wake up happier sometimes. I can really feel how my body is actually holding onto and using all of the constituents. It's helped me think a lot clearer just instantly being put into a good mood. Even weed isn't reliable like this and I'm actually going to quit when I run out and replace the habit with tea entirely, in pursuit of a career.

Other sleepy herbs feel really nice too, but none of them taste nearly as good as chamomile, especially when steeped for long times. It is impossible for chamomile to become truly bitter. In fact, putting chamomile tea bags in coffee will make the coffee taste like water pH wise. Coffee is foul, though. Once I am done dropping out of college and can focus on getting real tea equipment and loose leaf it will be even better.

Chamomile on its own really is a whole body regulator, though, as in it can be stimulating. I just made some tea at 3 am when I was tired and I feel energized and everything. I'm actually amped for no reason at all. The Chinese are right about long-term herb usage with X cups a day, it wasn't working like this at all when I was only drinking one or two dilute cups a day and not every day.
