The role and value of honeysuckle

Medicinal value of honeysuckle

When used as medicine, honeysuckle can clear away heat, detoxify, and disperse wind-heat. It can be used to treat laryngeal paralysis, erysipelas, wind-heat colds, febrile diseases, and other diseases.

Economic value of honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is mainly grown in Shandong, Henan and Hebei in the northern region, and is also cultivated in Hunan, Guangxi and Chongqing in the southern region. These are all artificially cultivated by medicinal farmers, with an annual output of more than 20,000 tons (dried flowers), and an annual output value of more than 1 billion yuan, effectively increasing farmers' income.
