Clinical commentary 臨床
Two flavors and a spoon of ginger juice for the heat that came out of a bottle — indigo's cold blue against the flush, trichosanthes seed moistening what the drinking dried. The wine chapter's pharmacology, reappearing in the fire chapter with a three-day promise attached. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
