Chamomile tea may help with nausea and vomiting, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for an upset stomach.

Explanation

Chamomile tea is often used as a natural remedy for upset stomachs. According to one study, chamomile, along with ginger, was evaluated for its effect on nausea and vomiting. However, this study does not specifically address chamomile's effectiveness for general stomach upset or dyspepsia.

Another reference discusses herbal remedies for stomach issues, mentioning peppermint as effective for dyspepsia, but it does not provide specific information about chamomile.

In conclusion, while chamomile tea is traditionally used for soothing upset stomachs, the current literature provided does not offer strong evidence to support its effectiveness specifically for this purpose. More research is needed to better understand its benefits.
