Clinical commentary 臨床

俱生用 — all used raw, which is what the name counts. Raw aconite is several times more toxic than the blast-fried kind the rest of the chapter uses, and the dose is held to seven or nine pills for that reason. **Contains raw aconite main root, raw aconite root, raw arisaema and scorpion. This must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
