    There are at least 180 species of honeysuckle, with most species found in Asia and a few in Europe and the Americas.

    In homeopathy, honeysuckle has been used for asthma, breathing difficulties, irritability with violent outbursts, and syphilis. However, currently there is no clinical evidence available supporting the use of honeysuckle for these conditions or any other indication.

    Honeysuckle poisoning from ingestion by children may cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms and cramping.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
