Jin Yin Hua HONEYSUCKLE, "GOLD SILVER FLOWER"

Jin Yin Hua is one of a group of herbs that clears Heat: this includes febrile conditions and any illnesses with Heat signs, such as fever, inflammation, red eyes, aversion to heat, and hot skin eruptions.

HOW TO USE

Jin Yin Hua has a strong effect against many pathogenic bacteria. It is especially useful against salmonella (food poisoning), and is effective against many streptococcus or staphylococcus infections. It is good for painful, hot swellings, particularly of the breast (mastitis), throat (viral or bacterial tonsillitis), or eyes (conjunctivitis). It is also used in “summer-heat diseases,” where the hot weather produces fevers, sweating, and thirst. It is used for bad dysentery and bacterial urinary tract infections.
