Types of ornamental plants that purify the air and bring good luck and health during Tet

Chrysanthemum plant

Doctor Huynh Tan Vu, lecturer of Traditional Medicine Department, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, shared that chrysanthemum is a beautiful flower with many different colors, symbolizing longevity and abundant fortune.

Chrysanthemums are long-lasting and are a precious flower that is always treasured. Perhaps that is why they are considered a symbol of human health. At the beginning of the year, people often favor chrysanthemums to wish for a year of good health, because we often believe that "health is everything".

There are about 13,000 species of chrysanthemums, of which the two most commonly used are white chrysanthemums and yellow chrysanthemums. In particular, chrysanthemum preparations such as chrysanthemum tea and dried chrysanthemums are always one of the medicinal herbs in Vietnamese folk medicine.

Chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and prosperity.
