Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Mei Gui Hua is brewed as a daily tea to smooth the flow of qi, lift the spirits, and bring a sense of calm to the mind. It is often paired with chrysanthemum for a cooling floral blend, with goji berry and red date for a nourishing tonic tea, or with tangerine peel for a warming digestive infusion. In some regional traditions, the buds are added to congee, sweet soups, and herbal wines to lend fragrance and a gentle qi-moving quality to everyday nourishment.
