Re: help with chamomile tea
Hello mummia20,
Chamomile tea contains many chemical compounds and I'm not certain that anyone has tried to identify which ones may lighten hair color. Chamomile flowers contain several polyphenols and terpenoids that may provide some medicinal properties. More details are provided in the following link.

You question was covered in an earlier post some years back. You may be interested in reading through the references provided there.
