Scientific Name: Lonicera spp.
AKA: Jin Yin Hua
Medicinal Properties
Honeysuckle is primarily used to treat ailments of the respiratory system. Honeysuckle bark is a strong
diuretic that can help to remove toxins from the body. This makes it useful for the treatment of gout.
Honeysuckle leaves are astringent. They are useful for making a mouthwash or gargle for problems in
the mouth. Honeysuckle flowers can be used to treat asthma and cough. The antispasmodic properties
help to relax the muscles in the chest.
Magickal Properties
Gender: Masculine
Planet: Jupiter
Element: Earth
Used for Money, Psychic Powers and Protection
Ring green candles with honeysuckle flowers to attract money, or place them in a vase in the house for
the same purpose. Lightly crush the fresh flowers and then rub on the forehead to heighten psychic
powers.
If a honeysuckle plant grows outside near your home, it will bring good luck, and if it grows over the
door it will keep fevers at bay for the household.
Did You Know? (Background)
While Honeysuckle is widely used in Europe, Western medicine rarely uses this plant for herbal
remedies. Honeysuckle has been most commonly used to treat asthma and other conditions of the
respiratory system. It's also been used to treat homesickness. Honeysuckle actually has many uses, but
the function really depends on the part of the plant that's used.
In China, there's another form of honeysuckle known as jin yin hua. This is actually used to treat
infections and high blood pressure. The form that's most often used in Western herbal medicine,
however, does not share the same properties.
Safety
You should not use honeysuckle berries, as they are toxic
