Clinical commentary 臨床

Two parts firefighting to five parts reconstruction — phellodendron and anemarrhena hold the blaze while morinda, antler, and cistanche rebuild the very Yang the cold pair might otherwise chill. A drained fire with nothing rebuilt beneath it is just a colder ruin. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
