Clinical commentary 臨床

Poria with pine root and acorus settle and open the heart; schisandra and ophiopogon moisten what the fire has dried; the wind medicinals disperse what has gathered. The formula treats distress as something to be quieted and let out rather than suppressed. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
