Jianhe Honeysuckle

Jianhe Honeysuckle

　　Muchuan has been producing honeysuckle since ancient times and is recognized as a National Modern Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry (Sichuan) Honeysuckle Science and Technology Demonstration Base. Among these, the honeysuckle from Jianhe Township is the most famous.

　　 Honeysuckle, also known as Japanese honeysuckle, initially blooms white and gradually turns yellow, hence the name "honeysuckle" (literally “gold-silver flower”). Its stems, leaves, and flowers can all be used medicinally, offering benefits such as detoxification, anti-inflammation, antibacterial effects, diuresis, and itch relief. It is one of the 38 varieties of precious traditional Chinese medicinal materials regulated by the state, and is hailed as the “TCM antibiotic” or “green antibiotic.” Jianhe honeysuckle is characterized by its dense blossoms, large flower form, and high chlorogenic acid content. In addition to pharmaceutical uses, it has also been developed into a series of health beverage products under the “Silver Flower Tea” brand, which are highly favored by consumers.
