Description

Lian Qiao (Forsythia suspensa), also known as Forsythia Fruit, is a widely used herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prized for its potent detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties. The dried fruit of the forsythia plant, Lian Qiao is typically used to clear heat and expel toxins from the body, making it a popular choice for treating conditions such as fevers, sore throats, and infections. It is often combined with other herbs to treat respiratory and skin ailments, as well as to support overall immune health. In TCM, Lian Qiao is also valued for its ability to reduce swelling, alleviate boils, and promote a sense of well-being. Known for its bitter and slightly cooling nature, this herb is considered a valuable addition to formulas aimed at reducing internal heat and restoring balance within the body.
