Indian Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum indicum

Chrysanthemum indicum, a flowering plant native to East Asia, has been traditionally used in various forms of herbal medicine but specific uses are not well-documented. Scientific research indicates potential benefits such as anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties, with linarin from the plant showing promise in reducing symptoms of allergic rhinitis by inhibiting mast cell degranulation and cytokine release. Additionally, studies have identified genes related to cold tolerance and bone health, suggesting possible applications for enhancing autophagy and suppressing inflammatory signaling pathways. While no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, the current body of evidence is limited, and further research is needed to fully understand its potential therapeutic uses.
