6 Benefits of Chrysanthemum Tea & How to Make it.

Benefits of Mineral-Rich & Cooling Chrysanthemum Tea: 

Chrysanthemum is one of my favorite herbs for summer health. It is called Ju Hua in Chinese herbal medicine. Chrysanthemum is cooling, bitter, and sweet. It is correlated with the lung and liver organs, and is known for clearing heat and inflammation from the body. 

Some of the Benefits of Chrysanthemum: 

  1. Promotes Relaxation & Soothes Headaches

  2. Lowers Blood Pressure & Cholesterol

  3. Maintains Healthy Immune Function

  4. Supports Bone Health

  5. Boosts Metabolism

  6. Improves Vision

To keep your system running smoothly the rest of the summer, you can drink chrysanthemum tea 1-2x/day. To make the tea, steep dried chrysanthemum in boiled water for 3-5 minutes, strain, and enjoy. You can find dried chrysanthemum online or at your local apothecary.
