Jin Yin Hua
Jin = gold
Yin = silver
Hua = flower
Also known as honeysuckle.
It is sweet (is that a surprise?) and cold. It goes to the LU/LI, and ST. Since it's a flower, it treats the upper parts of the body, lung, face, head (sore throat, sore eyes, fever), and since it goes to the LI as well it clears damp heat in the lower burner (dysentery, intestinal abscesses).
What it is noted for is that it disperses exterior wind heat. It is the "Yin" in Yin Qiao San. Fevers, headaches, sore throat.
Charred it can stop bleeding disorders and be helpful with mastitis, clogged breast ducts. Jin Yin Hua cools the blood.
