Clinical commentary 臨床

The formula the tradition settled on for turbid urine, and the one still prescribed under this name. 萆薢 separates the clear from the turbid — the Small Intestine chapter's 9.3 job — and the pinch of salt leads it into the kidney. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
