Clinical commentary 臨床

Danggwiyukhwang-tang's structure — astragalus and the two rehmannias — rebuilt as a supplement: the three yellows swapped for the cooling pair fried in honey, and the Four Gentlemen added. The same night sweat, in a patient too weak for coptis. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
