The dried capitulum of Chrysanthemum morifolium (Asteraceae). Enters the Lung and Liver channels. Pungent, sweet, bitter, and cool, it disperses upper-burner wind-heat, pacifies ascendant Liver yang, clears the Liver, and brightens the eyes. It is a key herb for exterior wind-heat headache with red eyes and for Liver-yang dizziness.
