Translation

Clinical commentary 臨床

Minor Regulate the Center with the Eight Treasures grafted onto it — the four qi medicinals of Sagunja-tang and the four blood medicinals of Samul-tang, with fresh rehmannia standing in for the cooked. The substitution matters: cooked rehmannia would supplement more warmly, and fresh keeps the formula's cool footing intact. This is the design principle the chapter returns to again and again. When the same phlegm fire appears in a depleted patient, you do not weaken the attack, you add the support underneath it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
