Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Jin Yin Hua is brewed as a daily tea to cool the body during summer, often paired with chrysanthemum, mulberry leaf, or mint for a refreshing infusion. It is also decocted into light soups and congee, and added to seasonal wellness formulas during hot weather. In traditional TCM, it enters the Lung and Stomach channels, where it works to clear heat, resolve toxins, and soothe the throat — one of the most important herbs for addressing wind-heat patterns and summer heat discomfort.
