Indian Chrysanthemum, commonly referred to as Chrysanthemum indicum, has a longstanding history in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these systems, the plant has been used for a variety of liver-related conditions, including jaundice in adults. The rationale for its use is largely based on its perceived ability to "clear heat" and "detoxify" the body, concepts that do not have direct analogs in modern biomedical science but are important in traditional frameworks.

While Chrysanthemum indicum contains flavonoids and other phytochemicals with demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in laboratory studies, there is little to no direct clinical evidence to support its efficacy in treating jaundice specifically. The majority of evidence for its use in jaundice is anecdotal or based on its inclusion in traditional polyherbal formulas. No substantial human clinical trials have evaluated its safety or effectiveness for adult jaundice, and there are no widely recognized pharmacological mechanisms linking the plant directly to improved bilirubin metabolism or liver function in this context.

In summary, the use of Indian Chrysanthemum for jaundice in adults is supported primarily by traditional practices rather than scientific validation, and the evidence base is weak.
