Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 The scent of chrysanthemum flowers (Ju Hua, Flos Chrysanthemi Morifolii) has a relaxing and cooling effect on the Liver and can be used to help Liver Yin Defiency (Liver Deficiency Heat). (Flaws prefers the translation " depressive " instead of Deficiency.) Rose (Mei Gui Hua, Flos Rosae Rugosae) moves Qi and Blood. Flaws says that the scent of Lily, Narcissus, Lotus flowers, Orchids, and Jasmine can relieve stress and irritability. Information taken from p. 138. Flos in the name of an herb means that the flower is the part used. Like lignum means the wood and radix (Rx) means the root.
