Clinical commentary 臨床

Danchisoyo-san with the Four Substances added and fritillaria for the lump — the formula still prescribed under this name for breast lumps that swell before the period. 12.10 keeps it for the weak, where the Jeongjeon's sixteen would be too much. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
