Clinical commentary 臨床

The name states the aim — harmonize the centre — and the composition is the mildest of the four cold damp formulas, with no aconite in it at all. Every medicinal is either fried, blast-fried or mix-fried, which softens the whole prescription. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
