Details
Chrysanthemum tea is a warm, herbal beverage prepared from dried chrysanthemum flowers. This tea has a delicate, slightly floral aroma and a light, refreshing taste. Chrysanthemum tea has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various internal and external health issues. Chrysanthemums can cause side effects in some people, so consult your doctor before consuming chrysanthemum tea. Avoid any type of chrysanthemum supplements if you are allergic to ragweed.
Improve Cardiovascular Health
The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center reports that chrysanthemum supplements increase coronary blood flow and reduce capillary permeability. According to the Herbs 2000 website, clinical trials performed in China and Japan indicated that chrysanthemum effectively reduced blood pressure levels and relieved various high blood pressure symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia and headaches. These studies also demonstrated that the strong antibiotic properties chrysanthemums might also be effective for treating angina, or chest pain that stems from coronary heart disease. More human studies need to be completed on chrysanthemum tea, however.
Alleviate Cold Symptoms
According to "Natural Health" magazine, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have historically used chrysanthemum tea to treat "hot colds," or colds accompanied by fevers, swollen glands and headaches. They add that chrysanthemum helps with fevers because it has a cooling effect. Combine 1 heaping teaspoon each of dried chrysanthemum flowers, dried honeysuckle flowers and dried peppermint. Pour 1 quart of boiling water on the herbs and let the concoction steep until it cools to room temperature. Drink this chrysanthemum tea every two hours to help alleviate your cold symptoms.
Treat Heat Rash
Chrysanthemum tea can also treat heat rash. "Natural Health" magazine reports that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe that heat rash is a symptom of internal temperature imbalances. If you are suffering from heat rash, drinking chrysanthemum tea every two to three hours until heat rash is gone. "Natural Health" magazine also suggests that you avoid consuming sugary or spicy foods that might generate more heat in your body.
Improve Eye Health
Chrysanthemum tea might also be effective in treating eye problems, including improving the sight acuity of those who have faltering vision. Herbs 2000 reports that chrysanthemums have a long history of being used to treat blurred vision, spotty vision and watering eyes. Try sipping on chrysanthemum tea if you have sore, dry or red eyes from reading a lot or from working at a computer for long stretches of time.
Other Benefits
According to Herbs 2000, clinical research has discovered that the active constituents in chrysanthemums have antibiotic effects. These natural antibiotics appear to help fight several types of bacteria, particularly streptococcus and staphylococcus. Chrysanthemum tea can also ease tension headache pain, remedy bad breath and soothe dry mouths or throats. Chrysanthemum tea can help you relax by calming your nerves and clearing your mind.

How To
How to make a Hot Tea
Start with fresh, cold water. (The better the water quality, the better the tea will taste.) Place a tea bag in your favorite cup or mug. Bring water to a rolling boil and immediately pour over your tea bag. Steep for a good 3 to 5 minutes. (Great taste can't be rushed—it really does take the full time to release the tea's entire flavor.) Remove the tea bag, relax and enjoy! (Serve it “clear” or try it with milk and sugar.)
Here's a coldwater method for clear, cloudless iced tea:
Fill a quart pitcher or container with cold tap water. Cover. Let stand at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Add 4 to 6 tea bags or 1 Family Size tea bag (remove tags). After at least 6 hours (or overnight), remove tea bags, squeezing against side of container. When ready to serve, pour into ice-filled glasses. Makes 1 quart. Recipe may be doubled.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Generally you boil 20g of tea/herb with 2L. of water. The ratio does not matter. However, it is recommended that you control the
saturation of the tea (how strong it is) depending on your personal
preference and body condition.
A: It depends on the tea/herb.
For leaves: boil for 15~20 min.
For hard fruits, roots, and stems: If you soak the tea/herb in water
for 1~2 hours before boiling, you can save time in boiling, and also
get a deeper flavor than without soaking.
A: Currently, what is listed on the site is what we mostly deal with in
retail stores. However, if there is a certain tea/herb that you wish to
get, you can send an email to info@leafnflower.com. or 844-344-0622.
Then, we may offer a price for obtaining the tea/herb, answer questions, and even offer purchase.
A: Yes, you can combine 5~10g of teas/herbs that you already have with Leafnflower.com's teas/herbs.
Although brewing one tea/herb is still good, combining 2~3 teas/herbs helps bring out
the remedial effects of the tea/herbs better than brewing just one tea/herb. However, most tea/herbs contain natural toxins,
and it is recommended that you boil 1~2 pieces of liquorice root along with the tea/herb to remove the toxin.
