 Honeysuckle Vine

This a Honeysuckle vine, I found growing in the woods, near water, in Vermont. 

Honeysuckle vine, Lonicera.

Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to the Northern Hemisphere. Approximately 180 species of honeysuckle have been identified.

Sometimes called “woodbine.” The flower, seed, and leaves are used for medicine. The honeysuckle flower is commonly used to help ease the flu, colds and sore throat. Honeysuckle is also used for urinary disorders, headache, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Some people use it to promote sweating, as a laxative, to counteract poisoning, and for birth control.

Honeysuckle essential oil is one of the most popular products derived from this plant, for medicinal uses as well as hair and skin care.
