Lonicera Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Lonicera (Lonicera japonica), the Japanese honeysuckle or jin yin hua, is a twining, semi-evergreen vine of the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, native to China, Japan and Korea and an aggressive invader in the eastern United States. It climbs to 10 m with oval, opposite leaves and pairs of fragrant tubular flowers that open white and age to yellow, so both colors show at once, which gives the Chinese name meaning "gold and silver flower". Black berries follow in autumn. We extract the dried flower and the dried stem separately.
