Wild Embryo Chrysanthemums 全天然野生胎菊
Our Wild Embryo Chrysanthemums originate from 雷山, the Thunder Mountain region in Guizhou, known for the Miao people's esteemed herbal knowledge. Foraged before the flowers fully bloom and dried naturally, these chrysanthemums maintain harmony with nature and are free from sulfur and other harmful chemicals commonly found in today's herbal production. Their unmatched quality, scarcity, and significant medicinal benefits have made Embryo Chrysanthemum the most valuable member of the chamomile family since ancient times.
According to the Shennong Bencao Jing (Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic), Embryo Chrysanthemum was historically used for "moistening the throat, generating fluids, clearing the heart and quenching thirst, and dispersing wind and heat."
When brewed as a tea, Embryo Chrysanthemum yields a bright golden infusion with a floral aroma, sweet honey taste, and a refreshing aftertaste.
Health Benefits (Based on TCM):
- Detoxifies the liver: Helps reduce excessive liver heat caused by late nights, snacking, anger, or frequent screen time.
- Improves vision: Provides relief for dry mouth and eyes and helps mitigate the effects of screen radiation.
- Relieves colds and headaches: Helps with symptoms caused by hot air and has preventive and therapeutic effects on tinnitus and dizziness.
- Support Lower blood pressure and cholesterol: Has properties that help resist cancer cells.

Use with Caution:
Embryo Chrysanthemum has a "cold nature" and is used to treat heat-related symptoms like inflammation. People with Qi deficiency (e.g., cold hands and feet), spleen and stomach deficiency (e.g., indigestion, stomach pain after meals, or constipation), and those prone to diarrhoea should use it cautiously.
For those with these conditions, it is recommended to consume Embryo Chrysanthemum in moderation, during suitable seasons (such as summer), and avoid consuming it on an empty stomach.
