Health Benefits of Organic Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua)
Chrysanthemum tea is a popular drink made from chrysanthemum flowers. It’s not only refreshing but has several health benefits, especially during the winter months when you might need extra support for your body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua) is considered a top-grade herb, known for helping your body’s qi (energy) and blood flow. It’s believed that drinking chrysanthemum tea regularly can help you maintain a healthy weight, keep you feeling young, and even extend your life.
Key Benefits of Organic Chrysanthemum:
-
Supports Vision: Chrysanthemum is well-known for its ability to support and improve eyesight, making it a common herbal remedy for eye health.
-
Boosts Respiratory Health: It helps clear your airways, making it easier to breathe freely. This is especially helpful during cold and flu season.
-
Cardiovascular Health: Chrysanthemum is great for your heart, promoting healthy circulation and overall cardiovascular health.
-
Cleanses the Body: It acts as a natural cleanser, helping rid the body of toxins and maintain general wellness.
-
Reduces Fever & Cools the Body: Chrysanthemum helps "expel wind heat," which means it reduces fever and cools the body, making it especially useful during the colder months.
-
External Use for Skin: Chrysanthemum can also be used externally as a skin soak. It can soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin.
Why It Works:
Chrysanthemum flowers contain flavonoids and antioxidants that fight inflammation and promote overall health. These natural compounds help the body stay strong by supporting the immune system, improving circulation, and maintaining a healthy balance within the body.
By incorporating organic chrysanthemum into your daily routine, whether through tea, pills, or skin applications, you can enjoy these powerful health benefits in an easy and natural way.
How To Make Chrysanthemum Tea
1. To create a delicate, aromatic cup of chrysanthemum tea that exudes a calming floral essence, begin by bringing pure, crystal-clear water to a vigorous boil in a sturdy pot.
2. While the water dances with energy, carefully select a handful of dried chrysanthemum flowers, their vibrant hues reminiscent of a golden sunset.
3. As the bubbling water reaches its peak, place the fragrant chrysanthemum blooms into a dainty teapot or elegant porcelain cup, allowing their petals to gently unfurl in anticipation of the brewing process.
4. Slowly, pour the hot water over the blossoms, watching as they gracefully release their essence into the liquid, filling the air with a sweet, heady aroma.
5. Allow the chrysanthemum tea to steep for a thoughtful 5-10 minutes, giving time for the flavors to mingle and harmonize, creating a symphony of delicate notes that tantalize the senses.
6. Then, strain the tea, separating the spent flowers from the golden-hued infusion, ensuring a pure, clear brew that sparkles like sunlight on a tranquil stream.
