Clinical commentary 臨床

A steamed rice cake dried and powdered — the medicine is a food in the fullest sense, ten seung of rice flour carrying five nyang each of five mild supplements. The five are the standard spleen quintet: ginseng, dioscorea, lotus seed, poria and euryale. None is strong, and none needs to be; the preparation is meant to be eaten daily for months. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
