Chrysanthemum Petals

At Mystic, we love working with chrysanthemums because they are such powerful and vibrant flowers that exude a joyful energy. These beautiful flowers come in a variety of colors, from yellow to pink to purple, and are known for their ability to uplift and brighten moods.

When working with chrysanthemums, focus on their healing properties, which include boosting the immune system, promoting relaxation, and reducing stress and anxiety. By incorporating chrysanthemums into energy healing practice, you able to feel more centered and balanced.

Chrysanthemums have a way of opening up the heart chakra, which is the center of love and compassion. By encouraging the flow of energy in this area, chrysanthemums can help people feel more connected to their emotions and to the world around them.

Our Chrysanthemum comes in a sealable bag with a weight of 9 grams (0.35oz), and was packaged with gloves. We recommend doing a skin test to make sure you are not allergic if you plan on using Chrysanthemum topically.

Ancient Use of Chrysanthemum:

In ancient China, they were seen as a symbol of nobility and longevity, and even used in divination and medicine! Plus, they were connected to the element of water, which is all about emotions and intuition - perfect for all us energy healers out there!

Chrysanthemums were also used in ancient Egypt in funeral rites and believed to have a connection to the afterlife. In Greece, they were associated with Demeter, the goddess of harvest and fertility, and used in celebrations of the autumnal equinox.

In Japan, chrysanthemums are a BIG deal and even the national flower! They have an entire festival called "Kiku no Sekku" to honor their beauty and significance. Fun fact: they were first cultivated in the 8th century and became a symbol of the Imperial Family - you can even find them on the Imperial Seal of Japan!

And during Victorian England, they were all the rage as ornamental plants and featured in all sorts of gardens and flower arrangements. Plus, in Korea, they've been used for centuries in traditional tea ceremonies and are believed to promote longevity and health.
