 Current studies in China have found Honeysuckle to be effective in reducing inflammation, fever and infection, and these studies have also indicated that Honeysuckle may have some promise in treating malignant breast disease. Chinese researchers think that Honeysuckle may help regulate blood sugar levels, thus theoretically helping to stave off adult onset diabetes. It has also been shown to inhibit tuberculosis.

 Honeysuckle also combines well with other herbs. It has been used in conjunction with Chrysanthemum to lower blood pressure, with Skullcap to reduce fever and with Cowslip or Elecampane as an expectorant. Honeysuckle is a natural source of salicylic acid, the compound from which aspirin is made, and can thus be used in cases of headache, joint pain and fevers. Honeysuckle has been used as a gargle for sore throats and mouth ulcers, and it may also be used as a mild laxative, diuretic and diaphoretic. Topically, Honeysuckle has been used to ease the pain of sunburn and reduce the itching of poison ivy and other rashes.

 Woodbine or European honeysuckle (L. periclymenum) was once widely used for asthma, urinary complaints, and in childbirth. Pliny recommended it to be taken in wine for spleen disorders. Today, Chinese honeysuckle (L. japonica, or jin yin) is more likely to be used medicinally. This was first listed in the Tang Ben Cao, written in A.D. 659, and is one of the most important Chinese herbs for clearing heat and poisons from the body.

 In Europe, honeysuckle has traditionally been used as a treatment for asthma and other chest conditions. Honeysuckle is one of the Bach Flower Remedies, and in this system of herbal cures it is believed to counter feelings of nostalgia and homesickness. Jin yin hua has long been used in Chinese medicine to "clear heat and relieve toxicity."
