Clinical commentary 臨床

The disperser for the stomach that cannot afford demolition — clove and aucklandia warm the room, ginseng and atractylodes hold the walls, and the ferment does its quiet work. Dispersal at the pace of a frail digestion; the family's bedside manner. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
