In Asia, where the flower originates from, it is considered a herb with powerful medicinal properties. The chrysanthemum is native to China and Japan , where for many centuries the flower has been celebrated for its healing powers. Certain varieties of edible Chrysanthemum are staples of traditional Chinese medicine , used to treat headache, dizziness and high cholesterol. And for sufferers of the common cold, a sweet tea made with the flowers of the Indian chrysanthemum is said to help recovery. Scientists in Europe and America have also begun to examine the flower's remarkable properties. ( please note that edible flowers have to be grown in a special way to make them fit for human consumption - the cut flowers and plants for sale in shops must not be brewed in tea or used as medicine ! ) In ancient lore in Asia, the chrysanthemum is a symbol of a long and happy life. There are many powerful rituals surrounding the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum also has a powerful meaning in Greek superstition , where the flower is seen as a protector against evil spirits. This is the reason you'll often see the flowers in graveyards - but don't be persuaded into picking them. Another superstition : the fortune-telling power of Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, also known as the daisy. The game of pulling petals off the flower head one by one whilst chanting ' He loves me, he loves me not ...' has its origins in old soothsaying rituals that made use of the flower. In the United States, chrysanthemums typically symbolize friendship, happiness, and well-being. They are often tied to the arrival of autumn and are one of the most popular fall flowers.
