Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a plant traditionally used in various cultures, though specific traditional uses for Chrysanthemum species are not extensively documented. Scientific evidence primarily focuses on Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium and Chrysanthemum morifolium. Research indicates that polyploid Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium may enhance resistance to fungal pathogens through specific genetic mechanisms, while linarin from Chrysanthemum morifolium showed potential in reducing allergic rhinitis symptoms in rats without adverse effects. Additionally, Chrysanthemum morifolium was observed to reduce tear staining and improve iron status and antioxidant capacity in dogs. The safety profile of chrysanthemum appears favorable with no major issues recorded, and there are currently no known drug interactions associated with its use.
