Clinical commentary 臨床

Three medicinals in a three-two-one ratio, and the aconite is not specified as blast-fried, which the two neighbouring formulas both are. Whether that is a textual omission or a real difference cannot be settled from the text. **Contains aconite, here without the blast-frying that moderates it. Not suitable for self-administration.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
