Abstract
Medicinal and edible tea manufactured from the dried leaves of Chimonanthus Lindl has high medicinal value and health function, which is a widely consumed beverage in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces in China. In order to provide timely reference for further investigation, development and utilization of medicinal and edible tea from Chimonanthus Lindl, we make a systemic review of Chimonanthus salicifolius S. Y. Hu and Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. on chemical constituents from the aspects of nutrients, essential oils, flavonoids, coumarins, etc., and pharmacological activities in vivo and in vitro experiments as well as clinical studies.
