Top 8 Health Benefits of Chrysanthemum Tea

Chrysanthemum originated a thousand years ago in the Song Dynasty (year 960–1279) in China. Chrysanthemum flowers come in many varieties, but the one we offer is a particular varietal called Royal Chrysanthemum as it was specifically gifted to the Royal family at the time. Chrysanthemum tea/infusion is made by infusing boiling hot water with the whole flower, which releases a wide variety of antioxidants, organic compounds, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and soothing chemicals into the tonic, making it one of the most nourishing and delightful drink. Its medicinal uses have been known for centuries, making it highly sought after by natural healers.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: While all varietals of the Chrysanthemum flowers are considered edible flowers, but not all Chrysanthemums are cultivated as food grade to be ingested or used for flower tea. Please do not eat or drink Chrysanthemums from your florists or local super markets as they are NOT grown for ingestion, they are grown ONLY for decoration and are generally speaking full of pesticides/chemicals or pests/diseases.

+ Promotes Deep Relaxation

For generations, chrysanthemum tea has helped to lower blood pressure, cool the body, and reduce inflammation, all of which can help to induce calmness. The powerful antioxidants and minerals present in the infusion can help your body better regulate itself and eliminate unnecessary stress hormones in the blood.

+ Promotes Healthy Heart Function

Studies have linked chrysanthemum tea to lower blood pressure and relief from coronary artery diseases. By lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, some reports even say this herbal flower tea can be a long-term preventative measure for different cardiovascular issues, such as heart attacks and strokes, as well as atherosclerosis. This lowered blood pressure is mainly attributed to the potassium content of the infusion, as potassium is a vasodilator.

+ Skin Care

Super rich in beta-carotene in chrysanthemum tea, which breaks down into vitamin A to serve different purposes in the body. Vitamin A behaves like an antioxidant in many ways and therefore eliminates oxidative stress and damaged cells in organ systems around the body. Chrysanthemum tea has long been used topically for this reason, as it can clear up skin irritation, redness, and chronic conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis. It also helps to generally reduce the signs of aging, as well as wrinkles and blemishes, thanks to the antioxidant content of the flowers.

+ Maintains Healthy Immune Function

Vitamin C and A are both found in high concentrations within chrysanthemum tea, and both of these vitamins are crucial for immune system health. Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells and functions as an antioxidant to protect against free radicals. There are also quite a few minerals in chrysanthemum, such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, all of which are necessary for a healthy immune system.

+ Helps Maintain Bone Health

You don’t often hear about a flower tea being ideal for bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis, but chrysanthemum tea as a super herbal flower tea's mineral content stands apart in many ways. The extract of chrysanthemum has been identified to improve the conditions of bone mineral density loss, so it's never too early to start drinking this herbal flower tea.

+ Improves Vision

As mentioned earlier, super rich in beta-carotene, and subsequently vitamin A, in chrysanthemum tea. Vitamin A has always been closely linked with eye health, and as an antioxidant, it can protect against retinal neuropathy, cataracts, macular degeneration and many other issues having to do with the eyes, even something as simple as a blurry vision.

+ Promotes Healthy Metabolism

There are many different types of Vitamin B found in chrysanthemum, including folic acid, choline, niacin, and riboflavin. These vitamins are necessary for the normal functioning of the body, ranging from developmental progress and growth to hormonal levels, circulation, and neurotransmitter activity.
