Indian Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum indicum
Chrysanthemum indicum, a flowering plant native to East Asia, is primarily known for its ornamental use but has limited traditional medicinal applications. Scientific research suggests potential benefits in areas such as bone health and allergic rhinitis. Studies indicate that Chrysanthemum indicum polysaccharides may inhibit osteoclast differentiation and reduce bone loss by targeting lipocalin-2 and restoring autophagy to suppress NF-κB signaling, though the evidence is currently limited. Additionally, linarin from this plant has shown promise in reducing allergic rhinitis symptoms in rats through its effects on mast cell degranulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Safety data for Chrysanthemum indicum shows no major issues recorded; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings. There are currently no reported drug interactions associated with this plant.

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.
