The Efficacy and Functions of Snow Chrysanthemum
Disease description:
Young people often feel that the "three highs" (referring to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) are far from them. Since I developed the three highs, I have been paying close attention to my health at all times. My doctor recommended that I drink Xue Chrysanthemum (Gelidium roseum). I would like to ask the doctor, what are the benefits and effects of Xue Chrysanthemum?
