In folk herbal practice, Gui Hua is brewed as a fragrant daily tea, scattered into congee and sweet soups, and steeped into osmanthus wine and honey syrups. It is a classic autumn flower in Chinese food culture, often paired with green tea, black tea, goji berry, and jujube to warm the stomach and lift the spirit. In TCM food therapy, it is traditionally used to harmonize the Middle Burner, disperse cold stagnation, and refresh the senses during cool seasons.
