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.

What the science says
- Handelin inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone loss by targeting lipocalin-2 and restoring autophagy to suppress NF-κB signaling.
- This study developed an ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent method to extract polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum indicum and other plants, identifying structure-function relationships.
- The study identified 14 CiHsf genes in Chrysanthemum indicum and found that CiHsf10 may enhance cold tolerance by reducing ROS accumulation.
- Linarin from Chrysanthemum indicum reduced allergic rhinitis symptoms in rats by inhibiting mast cell degranulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine release.
- Chryejuindion A exhibited significant cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.84 ± 0.47 to 1.39 ± 0.75 μM.
