Hong Hua, or Safflower, is the dried flower of Carthamus tinctorius, traditionally used in both herbal preparations and culinary applications. Its vibrant red petals are especially valued in classical herbalism for their association with movement and warmth.

In traditional formulations, Hong Hua is often included to support the smooth flow of Qi and blood. It is considered particularly harmonising when used with other warming herbs, and its bright colour and aromatic nature make it a notable component in both teas and topical infusions.
