Clinical commentary 臨床

狀如蟲行 — like a worm crawling, the sensation of something moving under the skin of the face. 1.7 calls a headache of over three months' standing head wind, and this is the chapter's strongest formula for it. **Contains aconite main root, aconite root, arisaema, typhonium, scorpion and realgar, all toxic. This must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
