The Chrysanthemum medical properties is so powerful that people who drink too much of it can feel dizziness and nausea. So consume chrysanthemum tea in moderation. My recommendation is 1- 3 cups per day.
Some people could have allergy reaction that looks like inflammation of skin, itchy and scratchy
It is known chrysanthemum tea could interfere with the effects of some medicines and chemicals. That include medicine for insulin regulation, anticancer, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
For woman with baby it’s better to be cautious because we don’t know its effects to pregnancy.
Preparation
Lower grade Chysanthemem is rather bitter on it own and rock sugar would add to it to make the taste better. High quality Chrysanthemum such as our Taiju (胎菊) is probably one of the best variety for beverage, the bitterness is gentle, reminding of grapefruit and it taste good even without sweetner.
infuse it with hot water (80-90 celsius degree) and drink it plain or with wolf berry infused (good for eye sight). If you like sweetner, I would recommend less refine sugar such as honey or rock sugar.
