Farming Type: Organic Origin: China The wild Chrysanthemum is a sprawling, leafy plant with clusters of daisy-like flowers at its crown. Though it was first officially described in the West by the famous Botanist Karl Linnaeus in 1753, it has a long and rich history in Eastern medicine. The Chinese first described the flower in the 15th century B.C.E., and by the 8th century C.E., it was introduced to Japan. Enthralled by its brilliant appearance and versatility, it became a national symbol in Japan and is recognized as the official seal of the Emperor. It remains one of the most important herbs in traditional Japanese medicine and is thought to embody the power of life. The whole flowers, dried, sometimes powdered, are generally used in teas, tinctures, creams, and lotions. When making the tea, be sure to allow the herb to steep in hot water for no more than 10 minutes in a closed vessel, to preserve the essential oil. It may also be taken as a capsule. The Chrysanthemum is sometimes known as “The Queen of Fall Flowers” in the United States due to its beauty and high visibility in displays and decoration. It is often included in college homecoming festivities. It is the largest commercially produced flower in the US due to its ease of cultivation, ability to bloom on schedule, and wide range of forms and colors. In Magick, despite being a flower, the Chrysanthemum is a strong, masculine herb. It is ruled by the Sun and Fire. It has always been used for protection - especially protection of buildings, dwellings, and belongings. It is said to protect from evil spirits. For educational purposes only.
