I'm not a Chinese herbalist, but in western herbology, Chrysanthemum is known to be choleretic (reducing blood lipids), hepatic and a circulatory stimulant.
Its fairly mild action is used for varicose veins, gout, circulatory disorders and to treat alcohol-induced liver problems.
In China it is considered safe for children and the elderly to consume regularly, in modest amounts.
