Clinical commentary 臨床

Called the sacred formula for night sweats in its source text — three yellows douse the fire, two rehmannias refill the Yin it burned, and doubled Hwanggi bars the door the sweat escaped through. For robust presentations; the frail need gentler tools. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
