Clinical commentary 臨床

All four of the chapter's ear powders begin the same way — 先去膿水, first clear the discharge — and that instruction is the sound part of them. The Hoechun's is the most elaborate and the most heavily mineral. **Contains litharge and chalcanthite, both toxic; musk is CITES-listed.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
