Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to help improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. It can also help to calm and relax the individual, which may be beneficial for those experiencing pain and discomfort associated with degenerative joint disease. Eucalyptus, lavender, and tea tree oils are not typically used for digestive issues.
