Honeysuckle for :Bronchitis, chest congestion
Bronchitis, chest congestion

I regard honeysuckle and forsythia* as safe and effective, although they are not listed as GRAS by the FDA ( whose ways are a mystery to me). I wouldn't hesitate to use them for bronchitis and the chest congestion of colds and flu. Chinese studies have confirmed centuries of folkloric use.

F. suspensa (Chinese:; pinyin: liánqiào) is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Chinese herbology, but is relagated to ornamental use only here in the West.
