菊花（出自《神农本草经》）主治头风眩晕肿痛、眼睛欲脱出感、流泪、皮肤死肌、恶风湿痹。长期服用可通利血气，使身体轻健，延缓衰老，延年益寿。
（以上为朱字标注，出自《神农本草经》）治疗腰痛，缓解往来陶陶然的不适感，清除胸中烦热，安和肠胃，通利五脏血脉，调和四肢。（以上为黑字标注，出自名医记录）
【别名】节花、日精、女节、傅延年、更生、周盈、女华、回蜂菊、阴成、玉英、女茎、蔡苦蒿、容成、金精、长生、地薇蒿、羊欢草。
【苗】（《图经本草》记载）初春时贴地生出苗，夏季繁茂，直到深秋才开花。然而菊花有两种：一种茎呈紫色，气味香而味道甘甜，叶子可以做羹汤食用，这是真菊花；另一种茎青且大，叶细如蒿艾，气味苦涩不堪食用，名叫苦薏，不是真菊花。两者的叶子形状正相似，只是以甘味和苦味来区别罢了。南阳也有两种：白菊叶子大似艾叶，茎青根细，花白蕊黄；黄菊叶子似茼蒿，花蕊全黄。然而现在服饵养生的人多用白菊。南京又有一种开小花的，花瓣下有小珠子，像果实一样，称为珠子菊，十一月采集其实入药也很好。（《衍义》记载）菊花的品种不止几十种，只有单叶、花小而黄、叶深绿、细小薄嫩、应时而开的，适宜入药使用，即《月令》所说的“菊有黄花”的那种。
【产地】（《图经本草》记载）生长在雍州的川泽以及南阳的山谷田野中，南京、川汝、上党、建安、顺政郡、河内等地也有。如今到处都有。地道药材以南阳菊潭产的为佳。
【时节】（生长）春季生苗。（采收）正月采根，三月采叶，五月采茎，九月采花。
【收藏】阴干。
【选用】花蕊甘美者为好。
【质地】类似旋复花。
【颜色】黄、白。
【味道】甘。
【性质】平缓。
【气味】气之薄者，属阳中之阴。
【气味】香。
【治疗】（疗）（《药性论》云）热头风旋转倒地，脑骨疼痛，身上各种风邪。（《日华子本草》云）四肢游风，通利血脉，心烦，胸膈壅闷，以及痈毒、头痛。（《名医别录》云）头风目眩，胸中汹汹不安，眼泪流出，风痹骨肉痛。用枕头治疗头目风热。○叶捣汁治疗疔肿，垂危时神效。
【补益】（《日华子本草》云）花上的水饮用后有益面色，壮阳。
【合治方】取白菊花三斤，用生绢袋盛装储存，用酒三斗浸泡七日，服用。每日三次，治疗丈夫妇人久患头风眩晕闷乱，头发干枯脱落，胸中痰结，发作时即头晕眼昏暗，不知不觉想要倒下。○白菊配合巨胜（黑芝麻）、茯苓，蜜丸，主治风眩，改善面色变白，不老。○甘菊花的叶、茎、根等分，每天捣千杵成为粉末，配合酒调服一钱，或者配合蜜丸如梧桐子大，酒送服七丸，每日三次服用。能轻身润泽，明目，使胡须变黑。○九月九日采集菊花研末，酒饮一方寸匕，治疗醉酒不醒。

[Seedlings] (*Tujing Bencao* records): Seedlings emerge close to the ground in early spring, flourish in summer, and bloom only in late autumn. However, there are two types of chrysanthemum: one has purple stems, fragrant odor, and sweet taste; its leaves can be used for soup. This is the true chrysanthemum. The other type has green, large stems, and fine leaves resembling mugwort and wormwood; it has a bitter taste and smell and is inedible. It is called Ku Yi (Bitter Mugwort) and is not the true chrysanthemum. Their leaves look similar; they are distinguished only by their sweet and bitter tastes. There are also two types in Nanyang: White Chrysanthemum has large leaves resembling mugwort, green stems, thin roots, white flowers, and yellow pistils. Yellow Chrysanthemum has leaves resembling crown daisy, with entirely yellow flowers and pistils. However, those who practice medicinal diet currently mostly use white chrysanthemum. In Nanjing, there is another variety that blooms small flowers with small beads under the petals, resembling fruit, called Zhuzi Ju (Pearl Chrysanthemum). Harvesting its fruits in November for medicinal use is also excellent. (*Yanyi* records): There are dozens of chrysanthemum varieties. Only those with single leaves, small yellow flowers, deep green, small, thin leaves, and blooming according to the season are suitable for medicinal use. These are what *Yueling* refers to as "chrysanthemum with yellow flowers."
