Clinical commentary 臨床

A Korean source's grand equilibrium — both foundations fed at equal two-nyang rank, aconite nowhere, and a deliberate splash of wine-fried anemarrhena and phellodendron so eighteen warm builders never tip into fire. Tonification as statecraft: every faction represented, none allowed to dominate. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
