Evidence supporting the use of: Chrysanthemum (unspecified)
For the health condition: Gingivitis
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Chrysanthemum species, particularly Chrysanthemum morifolium (Ju Hua in traditional Chinese medicine), have a long history of use in East Asian herbal medicine for their purported anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Traditional medicine texts have recommended chrysanthemum preparations (such as teas, decoctions, or poultices) for various oral health issues, including gingivitis, based on the belief that they can reduce heat and inflammation in the body. While some laboratory studies indicate that chrysanthemum extracts may exhibit antibacterial effects against oral pathogens and may help modulate inflammation, these findings are preliminary and not robustly studied in clinical settings.
There is a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials directly evaluating the effectiveness of chrysanthemum for gingivitis in humans. Most of the evidence is based on ethnobotanical reports, historical use, and in vitro studies. Therefore, while the traditional use of chrysanthemum for gingivitis is well documented, scientific validation remains limited and indirect. For this reason, the evidence supporting its use for gingivitis is best rated as low (2 out of 5), reflecting traditional support with weak or insufficient scientific corroboration.
