Forsythia Tincture (NEW)

Forsythia (Forsythia suspensa), known as Lian Qiao in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a flowering shrub native to East Asia, particularly China. While the plant is widely recognized for its bright yellow spring blossoms, it is the fruit — and to a lesser extent the flowers — that are traditionally used in herbal preparations.
In TCM, Forsythia has been used for centuries as a “heat-clearing” and detoxifying herb, often included in classic formulas designed to support the body during periods of imbalance associated with excess heat or external stressors.

Historically, Forsythia is rarely used in isolation—it is most often paired with complementary herbs (such as Honeysuckle) to create balanced formulations that support the body’s natural response to environmental and seasonal challenges.
