Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Indian Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema indicum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these systems, it has been employed for various purposes, including alleviating symptoms related to respiratory and cardiovascular health. Specifically, in traditional Chinese practices, chrysanthemum flowers are sometimes used in herbal formulations to "clear heat" and "remove toxins," which can be associated with conditions such as chest congestion or mild discomfort. However, the interpretation of "chest pain" in traditional contexts often differs from the biomedical definition of angina or serious cardiac pain.

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the use of Indian Chrysanthemum for the treatment of chest pain as understood in modern medicine. Published clinical studies or well-controlled trials directly evaluating its efficacy for angina, myocardial ischemia, or other serious causes of chest pain are lacking. Most available data pertain to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or mild vasodilatory effects observed in laboratory or animal studies, but these findings have not been directly translated to clinical use for chest pain in humans.

In summary, the use of Indian Chrysanthemum for chest pain is primarily rooted in traditional medicine practices, and the scientific validation for this specific application remains minimal. Its use should not replace evidence-based treatments for serious causes of chest pain.
