Honeysuckle belongs to heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine. It tastes sweet and cold. It enters the lung meridian, heart meridian and stomach meridian. It has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials and dispersing wind-heat. It can also disperse wind-heat in the exterior, thus improving exogenous wind-heat and warm disease. In addition, its detoxification effect can also improve the syndrome of heat-toxic blood dysentery.
