[edit] What is this?

"The Japanese Honeysuckle flower is of high medicinal value in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is called rěn dōng téng (忍冬藤) or jīn yín huā (金銀花; lit. "gold silver flower"). It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and is used to dispel heat and remove toxins, including carbuncles, fevers, influenza and ulcers. It is, however, of cold and yin nature, and should not be taken by anyone with weak and "cold" digestive system. In Korean, it is called geumeunhwa. The dried leaves are also used in traditional Chinese medicine."

That sentence hardly sounds like medical advice, and it leads me to doubt the accuracy of the rest of the paragraph. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.126.75.39 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC).
