It is used for wind-heat and cold, headache and dizziness, redness and swelling of the eyes, dimming of the eyes, sores and canker sores. Drinking chrysanthemum water can relieve coughs caused by wind-heat, wind-dryness and liver-fire, but for coughs caused by wind-cold and phlegm-dampness, drinking chrysanthemum water not only fails to relieve coughs, but may also aggravate the condition.
