In Traditional Chinese medicine, Honey suckle flowers are among the important herbs for clearing away heat and relieving toxic materials. This herb relieves "fire toxicity" manifesting itself as hot, painful sores or swellings of the eyes, throat, or breast. It expels "wind-heat" manifesting itself as sore throat or headache when one catches cold. And it treats "damp heat" manifesting itself as bladder infection. Modern laboratory research has confirmed that the flowers have an inhibitory effect on the bacteria that cause salmonella, staph, strep, pseudomonas, and tuberculosis infections.
Chlorogenic acid is the most important phenolic compound in Honey suckle flowers and has been known as an antioxidant for a long time. It is also an inhibitor of the tumor promoting activity of phorbol esters; and might therefore contribute to the prevention of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
