As long as you are not drinking tea with your meals your fine. Drinking tea with meals can actually affect nutrient absorption of your food - especially iron which cannot be absorbed properley when its had with tea due to the natural tannins found in tea. Black tea has more tannins then Chamomile so its defintiely a better choice.
Having chamomile at bed time after food is absolutley fine and you shouldnt experience any problems.

not that i have heard of...

Not that i can think of hun ~ unless of course you are drinking the tea bag variety and then in that case the only downside would be that the therapeutic benefits would never be as good as if you were using organic loose leaf chamomile tea ?

CHEERS
?

yeah for tea. i wouldn't worry about it.....wait, i don't worry about it

Only if you are allergic to ragweed as well (they are related) - you might find yourself allergic to it someday then....sensitization.
