Scientific Summary
Forsythia suspensa is a deciduous shrub whose bright yellow fruit is used in traditional Chinese medicine. The dried fruits are primarily employed to treat bacterial infections and upper‑respiratory ailments, owing to their heat‑reducing and anti‑inflammatory effects. When used, it should be avoided in large doses or during pregnancy, as it can cause mild gastrointestinal irritation in some people.
