Men who sit in front of the computer every day to play games like crazy and car owners who drive for long periods of time all suffer from overstraining their eyes and sitting for long periods of time.

When the petals are crushed by hand, they are ready for use. There are also Haoju produced in Haozhou, Anhui, Chuju produced in Chuzhou, Chuanju produced in Zhongjiang, Sichuan, and Deju produced in Deqing, Zhejiang, all of which have high medicinal effects.

Its pollution-free nature makes it of greater drinking value to modern people.

When making chrysanthemum tea, it is best to use a transparent glass cup, put four or five chrysanthemums in it each time, and then brew it with boiling water.
