Many don't know how versatile the chrysanthemum is. It is a true all-rounder! They brighten up your garden and living room, purify the air, have natural healing powers and are edible. Talk about versatility.
Medicinal power
The chrysanthemum originated in China, where the medicinal power of the flower has convinced the inhabitants for centuries. Dizziness, headaches,cardiovascular diseases or high cholesterol, this flower seems to be able to handle it all.
Besides its medicinal power, Chinese and Japanese are also fans of chrysanthemums in tea, wine or beer. It may sound strange, but it is said to be healthy to drink a glass of wine every day with a leaf of chrysanthemum at the bottom. In China and Japan, they promise you eternal, healthy life when you drink this. So what are we waiting for?
Clearly, the chrysanthemum is versatile and has a lot going for it.
