What are the common chrysanthemum varieties and their benefits?

I grew up in the countryside. When I was a child, in autumn I often went to the edge of the fields to pick chrysanthemums, but after bringing them back I dried them and paid them no further attention. In fact, it was only after growing up that I learned it has benefits in many ways, and steeping it in water to drink can clear the liver and brighten the eyes, remove liver fire, and has fairly good benefits for symptoms such as eye discomfort. So what common chrysanthemum varieties are there? And what benefits does each have? In the following article, the editor will explain them for everyone!

1. What common chrysanthemum varieties are there?

Nowadays chrysanthemums are not only used for ornamental purposes; besides being beautiful, they can also be eaten and are often used to steep in water to drink. Generally speaking, common chrysanthemums are divided into these several types: Chuju, Gongju, Haoju, wild chrysanthemum, Tibetan colorful chrysanthemum, and Hangju, and they all have different benefits.

2. The benefits of several common chrysanthemums:

1. Gongju has the benefit of brightening the eyes

Gongju is also called "Huangshan Gongju." Gongju's cool nature is milder, and its effects of clearing the liver and brightening the eyes, and nourishing the liver and eyes, are more pronounced. Brewing Gongju tea and adding some goji berries is a good eye-protecting recipe for computer users.

2. Chuju has the benefit of reducing internal heat

Chuju is also called "white chrysanthemum" and "sweet chrysanthemum," and is a type of chrysanthemum with very tightly packed petals. Its flower center is golden yellow and its petals are crystal-clear jade white, and it has the reputation of "golden center and five petals." Chuju has the strongest effect of dispelling wind and dispersing heat. If symptoms of "heat-caused cold" such as a dry throat and dizziness appear, drinking some Chuju can relieve them.

3. Haoju has the benefit of dispelling wind and dispersing heat

Bozhou chrysanthemum flowers are relatively loose and the petals easily fall apart, and it is particularly good at dispelling wind and dispersing heat, and relieving summer heat and brightening the eyes. If you get a wind-heat cold, you can take Bozhou chrysanthemum with rock sugar as a tea substitute. In summer, you can also cook Bozhou chrysanthemum together with rice to make porridge, to prevent heatstroke.

4. Hangju has the benefit of soothing the throat

Hangju flowers are relatively large and are divided into two types, Hangbaiju and Hanghuangju, with Hangbaiju tasting somewhat sweeter. Compared with Gongju, Hangju's dark-colored flower center is more noticeable, and after steeping, the petals also tend to fall off. Hangju has the strongest effect of clearing heat and soothing the throat; when the throat is swollen and painful, drinking some Hangju is best.

5. Tibetan colorful chrysanthemum is an excellent beauty product

The seven-color chrysanthemum from Tibet, also called Tibetan colorful chrysanthemum, besides the basic medicinal effects of chrysanthemum (clearing heat and detoxifying), also has a unique beauty benefit, and is especially suitable for women to take. After being steeped in water, the Tibetan colorful chrysanthemum quickly contracts into a half-open bud shape and can be steeped repeatedly for a long time. Just put 1 to 2 seven-color chrysanthemums in a cup, soak them in water for 2 to 3 seconds, and the tea immediately has a sweet taste, and after continuous steeping for a whole day it still has the fragrance and sweetness of chrysanthemum.

6. Wild chrysanthemum has an anti-inflammatory benefit

Compared with the chrysanthemums above, wild chrysanthemum flowers are smaller and yellow, not very attractive, and are more bitter and cold in nature. Wild chrysanthemum has the strongest effect of detoxifying, clearing heat, and reducing swelling, and is effective for relieving sores, toothache, and bad breath. Current research shows that wild chrysanthemum also has a strong anti-cancer effect. However, under ordinary circumstances do not drink wild chrysanthemum, so as to avoid damaging the yang qi of the spleen and stomach and causing adverse reactions such as stomach discomfort, borborygmus, and loose stools.

After reading the above, do you all have some new views on chrysanthemum? Generally, the common chrysanthemums are the six types the editor described to everyone above, and they have different benefits, but overall chrysanthemum is still a very good flower, both good-looking and useful, and everyone can usually brew a cup of chrysanthemum tea!
