Honeysuckle is a natural treasure for cooling off in summer
In summer, regularly drinking honeysuckle tea can help prevent heatstroke, intestinal infections and other illnesses. For summer-heat restlessness and heart irritability, or sores and tumors in children, take 10 g of honeysuckle and steep it in water as a tea substitute. If 10 g of chrysanthemum is added and steeped together, the effect is even more pronounced.
For sores and swellings, upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, biliary tract infections, breast inflammation and similar conditions, take 10-20 g of honeysuckle, decoct it in water and take it orally, twice a day; this can bring the condition under control and relieve symptoms.
Take 20 g of honeysuckle, dry-roast it and grind it into powder, then mix it with sugar water or honey and take it; this can treat summer-heat diarrhea and dysentery. It is an effective proven formula recorded in ancient medical texts and also a commonly used folk remedy. The famous formula "Yinqiao San", used to treat colds, pharyngitis, stomatitis and certain skin diseases, all takes honeysuckle as its main drug.
