Clinical commentary 臨床

Count the treasures and find the seventh is a grain — toasted millet, standing in equal rank with ginseng, because for the appetite-less patient the medicine that most resembles food is the one that will be taken. Danxi's grain doctrine, cast as a formula. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
