Generally, chrysanthemum and lemon can be consumed together as a beverage, but moderation is advised. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Chrysanthemum has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, calming the liver, and improving vision, while lemon is rich in vitamin C and provides immune-enhancing and antioxidant benefits. Combined, they not only offer a refreshing taste but also help clear internal heat, relieve summerheat, and promote digestion. Normally, drinking chrysanthemum and lemon water together is safe and beneficial.

However, chrysanthemum is slightly cold in nature and although it helps clear heat and reduce internal fire, excessive consumption may lead to accumulation of cold in the body, causing spleen and stomach deficiency-cold, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Meanwhile, citric acid in lemon can stimulate gastric acid secretion, and excessive consumption may lead to excessive gastric acid production, causing discomfort such as stomach pain, heartburn, and acid reflux. Therefore, it is recommended to drink chrysanthemum and lemon water in moderation in daily life.

In daily life, it is advisable to consume chrysanthemum-lemon water moderately to enjoy its benefits while also paying attention to bodily reactions to ensure health and safety.
