Mr. S reports that his wife has been giving him chamomile tea at night to help him relax and sleep. He is concerned because since he has been drinking the tea he is more congested than usual
He spoke with his wife about this and she told him it is all in his head. The best response the nurse can make is: 1. "People who are allergic to ragweed can have symptoms when using chamomile tea.".
2. "Chamomile is an all-natural product and should not cause any adverse symptoms.".
3. "Your wife is correct, chamomile is an herb that helps to promote sleep and relaxation.".
4. "I wouldn't worry about it, wait to see what happens.".

Rationale: The use of dietary supplements containing chamomile can cause allergic reactions in clients who are allergic to ragweed. Even though chamomile is an herb easily grown in any garden, and as such a natural product, it can still cause allergic reactions. If a client experiences a reaction to any product he should be careful not to use the product again since he may have a more severe reaction in the future.
