Gongju is a traditional famous product of Huangshan, and together with Chuju, Hangju, and Haoju is known as one of the four great famous chrysanthemums. Because of its high edible and medicinal value, it is widely cultivated. In daily life, many people like to brew it with goji berries, red dates, and other ingredients as tea. Sowhat is the market price of Gongju per jin? What efficacies and effects does it have? What is the difference from taiju?

Market price:

Gongju is about 90 yuan per jin, though prices vary by brand and packaging, and bulk prices differ from retail prices.

Efficacies and effects:

1. Gongju has a sedative effect on the central nervous system; drinking it regularly can calm the mind and soothe the spirit.

2. Gongju has an antipyretic effect, clearing heat and detoxifying; drinking it regularly can promote blood circulation, lighten the body, and benefit the brain.

3. Gongju can enhance capillary resistance and dilate the coronary arteries, promote blood flow, and lower blood pressure. Gongju can help protect blood vessels, is beneficial for lowering blood pressure, and can also improve vascular elasticity.

4. Gongju can clear heat and detoxify, clear the liver and brighten the eyes, dispel pathogenic factors, and reduce internal heat. Gongju is rich in vitamin A, an important substance for maintaining eye health. Gongju flower tea can make people clear-headed and bright-eyed, and is especially effective for dry eyes caused by excess liver fire or overuse of the eyes. For computer workers who often feel dry-eyed, Gongju tea is the first choice and is an excellent tea for clearing the liver and brightening the eyes! Gongju can nourish the liver and brighten the eyes, is beneficial for maintaining mental clarity, and is suitable for people who often use their brains. For people who often use computers, it can help relieve dry eyes, and can also reduce internal heat and brighten the eyes.

Differences from taiju:

1. For chrysanthemums, there is no such thing as the best; one can only speak in terms of efficacies and effects. Gongju has higher nutritional value, while freshly formed taiju tastes very mild; euphemistically called light and delicate, it actually has little nutrition - for example, Lushan Jinsi Ju is very good, and in ancient times Meng Haoran's line about picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence referred to Lushan Jinsi Ju.

2. First, Gongju and taiju grow in different places. The efficacies of Gongju and taiju are also somewhat different. As for which flower looks better, each has its own beauty, so both Gongju and taiju are very good things. The same applies to their medicinal properties: both Gongju and Longjing have very good medicinal properties. They have effects such as brightening the eyes; for specifics, one can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Most importantly, long-term consumption of these two kinds of chrysanthemums is greatly helpful for health.

3. Generally speaking, if the eyes are tired, taiju can be chosen, and then combined with some cassia seeds, which is very good for the eyes. In daily diet, one can also eat more carrots. Facing a computer every day is still quite harmful to the eyes, so in daily life one must pay attention to eye care and not work for long periods. Generally, green tea is better in this respect for the eyes and also has some anti-radiation effects. Both of these chrysanthemums clear heat and detoxify, clear the liver, and brighten the eyes. In daily tea drinking, a common choice is Hangbaiju.
