Honeysuckle flower 金銀花
Pharmaceutical nameLonicerae Flos
The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.
KTKP records the origin species as Lonicera japonica Thunb.. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 2 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 2 other separately registered drug(s) (Lonicerae Folium, Lonicerae Caulis), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Lonicera japonica.

The KTKP traditional materia medica record (M0000533) gives the origin species as Lonicera japonica Thunb., the part used as 꽃, and the properties as 감(甘), 무독(無毒), 한(寒). It lists 심(心), 위(胃), 폐(肺) as the channels entered. The same record cites the Donguibogam (1613) as the source for its indications.

Modern · documented evidence
(no indication derived — herb-name-only search)evidence for this indication
- No indication is specified. A and B grades cannot be assigned until the query is narrowed to a specific indication.
- No indication could be derived: no condition appears on two or more registered trials for this herb.
Literature
SR 4 · RCT 3 · preclinical 173
These counts come from a herb-name-only search (4 systematic reviews, 3 RCTs). Without a specific indication they show how much the herb has been studied, not what it works for.

- 13 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
- 1 interaction-related record(s) are retrievable. This flags that literature exists — it is not an interaction checker (§3.4).
- The KTKP record states the following traditional contraindication: 허한작사자(虛寒作瀉者)는 복용을 기(忌)하고, 외양기허농청자(外瘍氣虛膿淸者)는 복용을 금(禁)한다.
