That sentence hardly sounds like medical advice, and it leads me to doubt the accuracy of the rest of the paragraph. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]){{#if:14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)| 14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== Awkward but perhaps correct ==
I agree that the statement, "It is, however, of cold and yin nature, and should not be taken by anyone with weak and 'cold' digestive system" is awkward. Having been a licensed acupuncturist for twenty years, I do , however, understand what the writer was trying to communicate. The writer is attempting to communicate that the temperature properties (a Chinese Medicine (CM) concept) of Jin Yin Hua are cooling (another theoretical CM concept) and that therefore Jin Yin Hua should be used with other warming herbs if dealing with a diagnosis of cold in the Spleen and Stomach (another CM concept). The difficulty in making that statement is that it assumes the reader is familiar with CM theoretical constructs. The statement is technically correct but not for the layperson unless the underlying concepts are explained.
A side note, I included a footnote for "Alternate Chinese names include Er Hua and Shuang Hua." but I do not see the reference at the bottom of the page. Did I not do something correctly?

"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."
