HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chrysanthemum Flower by My Cup of Tee
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: dried chrysanthemum flower. It's sold as a tea bag — you steep it in hot water and drink it.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for chrysanthemum's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. For angina, headache, common cold, and diabetes — the conditions listed — we don't have reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't.
If you're thinking about using it for any of these, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence shows and whether it makes sense for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chrysanthemum is generally well tolerated as a tea, but it can trigger allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to it. Allergic symptoms can range from hives and itching to asthma in rare cases.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy unless your doctor approves it, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it in either case.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Chrysanthemum tea is fine to sip if you don't have a chrysanthemum allergy and you're not pregnant or breastfeeding. If you fall into any of those groups or you take any medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
No interactions are documented, but that doesn't mean you're in the clear without a personal conversation.

Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting. In a Desktop Botanical Garden Glass Tea & Elixir maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the elixir maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.
Precautions
Manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts.
