Chrysanthemum Poultice

Chrysanthemums are known to ease red, dry, itchiness from conditions such as conjuctivitis of the eye and eczema of the skin. It also helps with acne and even boils.


Because chrysanthemum is edible, this herb can be applied directly to the skin. (NEVER use anything on the skin that cannot also be eaten, because it ends up in the bloodstream.)

The chrysanthemum flowers can be crushed until a paste is formed. Apply directly on the skin, about an inch thick, and cover with muslin or gauze. Leave it on overnight for maximum benefits.


I don't recommend using the flowers that are available in the garden center of stores. These are often treated with pesticides and other chemicals. Buy organic heirloom seeds and plant them in your yard. You can control their environment, so they can bring beauty and healing into your life.
