Wild chrysanthemum is slightly poisonous, and its effect of clearing away heat and removing fire is the strongest. It is the most suitable chrysanthemum to be used as a Chinese herbal medicine. It is not suitable for long-term consumption when used to make tea, but it is very effective for making medicinal pillows.

Wild chrysanthemum is the yellow chrysanthemum with medicinal value recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica". It is also the ancestor of all domestic chrysanthemums. Because wild chrysanthemum is slightly poisonous, tastes a bit bitter, and has a stronger effect of clearing away heat and removing fire, it is mainly used as a medicinal chrysanthemum.

If you are not afraid of the bitter taste of wild chrysanthemum, you can also use it to make tea. However, because wild chrysanthemum is slightly poisonous, and its effect of clearing away heat and removing fire is relatively strong, and its medicinal effect is very strong, not everyone can make tea with wild chrysanthemum.

The medicinal effect of wild chrysanthemum is bitter and cold, so it is not suitable for long-term consumption or large consumption, otherwise it will hurt the gastrointestinal qi and blood. It is best to soak it and eat it when you need to reduce fire.

It is completely possible to make medicinal pillows from wild chrysanthemums after drying them, and the actual effect is much better than that made from other yellow chrysanthemums.

The method of making yellow chrysanthemum medicinal pillow is as follows:

Use 1000 grams of dried wild chrysanthemum slices, 400 grams of Notopterygium, 200 grams each of Moutan bark and white peony root, and put them into the pillowcase to slowly evaporate the therapeutic drugs. Generally, each medicated pillow can be used continuously for about half a year.

When you sleep with a chrysanthemum pillow at night, the temperature and pressure of your head can release the ingredients of the four medicinal herbs in the pillow, which enter the blood circulation system through the lungs through breathing, thereby achieving the purpose of disease prevention, especially for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. It has a good preventive and auxiliary treatment effect.
