Clinical commentary 臨床

Pyeongwi-san with agastache and pinellia added and cinnamon twig at the end — essentially Bulhwangeumjeonggi-san extended, which is the standing formula for damage by external influences reaching the middle burner. The two atractylodes together at a don each make it the driest prescription in the section. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
