Many people enjoy drinking chrysanthemum tea, especially office workers who frequently use computers. Is there any particular reason for this?

If you drink too much water before bed, you might wake up the next morning with puffy eyes like a panda. There's a folk remedy for this: dip cotton in chrysanthemum tea and apply it around your eyes. This can quickly reduce the puffiness.

Chrysanthemum is very effective in treating eye fatigue and blurred vision. Chinese people have known since ancient times that chrysanthemum protects the eyes. Besides applying it to reduce puffiness, you can usually brew a cup of chrysanthemum tea to drink, which can alleviate symptoms of eye fatigue. If you drink three to four cups of chrysanthemum tea daily, it can also help computer users restore their eyesight.

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums. Those unfamiliar might choose large, pale white flowers. Actually, the smaller, less attractive yellowish chrysanthemums are the best choice. Chrysanthemum tea doesn't require adding other tealeaves - just steep the dried chrysanthemums in water or boil them to make the tea. It's a great beverage both as a hot drink in winter and a cold drink in summer.
