Clinical commentary 臨床

Nineteen medicinals, and the shape is a food-accumulation formula rather than a phlegm one — medicated leaven, barley sprout, hawthorn, radish seed and pueraria cover food and drink, with the phlegm pair processed at length underneath. Compare Seojukdang's Transform Phlegm Pill at 6.5.8.1, which addresses the same alcohol phlegm with a similar design: the same overnight soak with alum, gleditsia pod and ginger, and the same test of boiling until the white specks are gone. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
