Clinical commentary 臨床

飮癖, rheum aggregation, is the Phlegm-Rheum chapter's term for fluid that has bound in the ribside, and naming it here connects alcohol jaundice to that chapter directly. The composition answers it — poria, pinellia, apricot kernel and peucedanum all move rheum — while pueraria and virgate wormwood handle the wine and the yellow. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
