Chysanthemum - Jua Hua in Chinese Medicine
Chrysanthemum, or 'Ju Hua' in Chinese, is commonly used in Chinese herbal remedies. This flower is believed to clear heat out of the body, to release toxins and balance the Liver Qi. It is often found in formulas that help relieve signs and symptoms associated with colds and flu and in formulas that help with hot flushes, dizziness and vertigo. Chrysanthemum also makes a great cup of tea.
