Research Summary
A recent study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology explored the migraine-relieving properties of essential oil from Chrysanthemi Flos (EOCF), a traditional remedy from Chrysanthemum morifolium. Researchers used various techniques to identify EOCF's chemical components and assess its effects on a nitroglycerin-induced migraine model in mice. EOCF was found to significantly inhibit nitric oxide production and reduce inflammation markers TNF-α and IL-6. The treatment lessened migraine-like symptoms and altered levels of key substances like CGRP, ET-1, 5-HT, and 5-HT1B. EOCF also showed analgesic properties and suppressed the PI3K-AKT pathway, supporting its traditional use for headaches.
