Fruit (lian qiao)
Fructus
Forsythiae
Properties:
Bitter in flavour, slightly cold in nature, it
acts on the lung, heart and gallbladder
channels. The cold property clears away heat and
the bitter flavour dissolves lumps. So it is
good at clearing away the excessive fire in the
heart channel, detoxicating and subduing
swelling. It is indicated for the syndromes of
exopathogenic, invasion of the ying division and
pericardium, especially the suppurative
infections on body surface. Therefore, it got
the name, ¡°the holy medicine for the doctors to
cure sores¡±. In addition, owing to the quality
of light and loose, it can cool and dispel the
expathogenic wind-heat, or treat epidemic
febrile diseases at the early stage when the
pathogenic factors are still lingering in the
wei division.

detoxicating, subduing swellings, dissolving
lumps and dispelling wind-heat.
