Clinical commentary 臨床

The Inner Classic's founding phrase from the taxation chapter, made into a workaday formula — the internal-damage fever's herbal middle path, neither the flagship's grandeur nor the drainers' severity. The maintenance clauses (drop the mover for the long haul, warm the kidney for winter) mark it as a formula meant to be lived with. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
