Traditionally, Albizia is recommended for allergic conditions: Allergenic rhinitis (itchy nose), Allergenic asthma, Eczema and Urticaria (red blotches of the skin). Albizia is thought to be one of the most valued Chinese Botanicals for calming the spirit and treating anxiety, depression and stress, hence it is also known as the Tree of Happiness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Albizia flower is associated with the liver and heart meridians. Albizia is also used in Chinese Medicine for the treatment of amnesia, poor memory, insomnia, and for blood circulation.
