Rating (out of 5): 2

"Huang Hua" can refer to several different herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but most commonly, it denotes the flower of Chrysanthemum morifolium (commonly known as chrysanthemum flower). In TCM, Huang Hua is not among the most prominent herbs for abdominal pain, but it has some traditional uses for clearing heat and resolving toxicity, which can be indirectly related to abdominal discomfort caused by conditions like heat-related digestive disturbances or mild food poisoning. References in classical texts and TCM formularies sometimes mention chrysanthemum for symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and eye disorders, with occasional mentions for resolving "toxic" accumulations that may manifest as abdominal symptoms. However, it is not a primary herb for treating abdominal pain and is more commonly associated with its effects on the liver and eyes. There is minimal scientific evidence supporting the use of Huang Hua (chrysanthemum) specifically for abdominal pain in modern clinical trials or pharmacological studies, although some anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties have been observed in laboratory research. The traditional evidence supporting its use for abdominal pain is thus limited and largely based on its general functions in TCM rather than robust clinical application for this specific condition.
