Forsythia Fruit Whole (Forsythia Suspensa)
Forsythia Fruit Whole (Forsythia suspensa), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Lian Qiao (连翘), is a cooling, bitter, and slightly acrid herb traditionally used to clear heat, resolve toxicity, and disperse wind-heat from the exterior. These small, oval-shaped fruit are carefully harvested when just ripened and then dried whole to preserve their natural potency, aroma, and vibrant greenish-brown color.
In TCM, Lian Qiao is one of the key herbs for early-stage wind-heat invasion, often used to relieve fever, sore throat, headaches, and swollen glands, especially when caused by external pathogens or internal heat. It is also valued for its ability to reduce inflammation, promote healthy skin, and support immune defenses.
When decocted, Forsythia Fruit Whole yields a light golden infusion with a slightly bitter, clean taste, often paired with herbs like Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle), Niu Bang Zi (Arctium), or Bo He (Mint) in cooling, detoxifying, and wind-heat-releasing formulas such as the classic Yin Qiao San.
Each batch of Forsythia Fruit Whole (Forsythia suspensa) is carefully selected, dried, and processed to maintain maximum purity, freshness, and herbal efficacy. Whether used in immune-supporting teas, seasonal detox formulas, or heat-clearing blends, Lian Qiao offers a time-honored, gentle yet powerful way to cool the body, reduce swelling, and protect against external heat invasion.
