White chrysanthemum has a strong effect in calming the liver and improving eyesight, yellow chrysanthemum has a strong effect in dispersing wind-heat, and wild chrysanthemum has the strongest effect in clearing away heat and detoxifying.

For those who like to drink tea to improve their eyesight, it is recommended to drink white chrysanthemum tea, because white chrysanthemum contains chrysanthemum glycosides, amino acids, flavonoids, and a variety of vitamins and trace elements; and for those suffering from wind-heat cold, it is recommended to drink yellow chrysanthemum tea. Because in general, yellow chrysanthemum tastes bitter and has a stronger heat-dissipating effect. It is often used for wind-heat cold, headache, sore throat, etc., while white chrysanthemum tastes sweet. Although it has a weaker wind-heat effect, it is better at calming the liver and improving eyesight.

Finally, "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records: Yellow tea chrysanthemum improves eyesight and dispels wind, searches for liver qi, treats dizziness, replenishes blood and moisturizes the face, and enters the blood; white tea chrysanthemum clears lung qi, relieves cough, clears the depressed fire in the three burners, treats muscle heat, and enters the qi.
