Clinical commentary 臨床

White mustard seed is the tradition's medicinal for phlegm under the ribs and in the channels, and steeped in wine it warms and disperses. A week's infusion and two small doses a day — the chapter's remedy for breathlessness that has settled in. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
