Chrysanthemum for Rosacea

Mar 8

Written By Graig Alpert

A 2005 study found that a cream with chrysanthemum extract significantly improved moderate rosacea compared to placebo over 12 weeks. The topical cream was applied twice per day. Chrysanthemum may help strengthen the walls of vasculature and is anti-inflammatory. Some people may be allergic to chrysanthemum. Side effects include itching and increased sun sensitivity among others.
