Summary:
In the modern Chinese Materia Medica guides, Chrysanthemum is listed among the cooling herbs for “relieving the surface” (or “releasing the exterior”), yet this
placement may obscure the fact that the flowers have also been utilized to promote circulation, preserve vitality, and provide some properties akin to those of the tonic
herbs.
These aspects were relayed in Shennong Bencao Jing (2): “protracted taking may disinhibit the blood and Qi, make the body light, slow aging, and prolong life.”
In the book, Maintaining Your Health (3), the Chinese tonic herbs are the primary
ones described for long-term use with health protecting effects, but there is also
an addendum listing fourteen herbs from other categories, including
Chrysanthemum.
Flowers are a valuable ingredient for making herbal teas. The two most popular teas
with flowers used as single herbs are Chamomile in the West and Chrysanthemum
in the East.

Mulberry offers a wide spectrum of nutritional benefits, vitamins, and minerals. Mulberry fruit is classified in the modern Chinese Materia Medica as a blood tonic, and is listed along with herbs having similar traditional uses such as ho-shou-wu (Polygonum multiflorum, root), cooked rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa, root), ligustrum (Ligustrum lucidum, fruit) and lycium (Lycium chinensis, fruit).

Traditionally, mulberry fruit has been used as a medicinal agent to nourish the yin and blood, benefit the kidneys, and treat weakness, fatigue, anemia, and premature graying of hair. It is also used utilized to treat urinary incontinence, tinnitus, dizziness, and constipation in the elderly and the anemic.

The dominant taste of the ripe fruit is sweet but usually somewhat bland, due to the high water content and low level of other flavoring ingredients, but a richer flavor develops if the fruit is dried;

The constituents have been analyzed & main content of fresh, ripe mulberry fruit is:;Carbohydrate (sugars, mainly glucose and fructose, producing the sweet taste): 7.8-9.2%, Protein: 0.4-1.5%, Fat (mainly fatty acids, such as linoleic, stearic, and oleic acids in the seeds): 0.4-0.5%, free acids (mainly malic acid, producing the sour taste): 1.1-1.9%, Fiber: 0.9-1.4%, Minerals: 0.7-0.9%
