Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Chrysanthemum, particularly Chrysanthemum morifolium and Chrysanthemum indicum, has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for addressing symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, including dry cough. In TCM, chrysanthemum is believed to have cooling and moistening properties, making it suitable for conditions characterized by heat and dryness, such as a dry cough. It is often included in herbal teas and decoctions, either alone or with other herbs, to "clear heat" and "dispel wind" from the body.

Despite its widespread use in traditional herbal practices, there is limited scientific validation specifically supporting chrysanthemum’s efficacy in treating dry cough. Some modern pharmacological studies have identified anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in chrysanthemum extracts, which could theoretically benefit respiratory health, but direct clinical evidence for its use in dry cough is lacking. Most available studies focus on broader respiratory or anti-inflammatory effects rather than cough specifically. Therefore, while traditional practices support its use, scientific evidence is minimal, and the rating reflects the limited direct evidence available.
