Clinical commentary 臨床

Danxi's famous Preserve Harmony Pill grown up for the chronic case — white atractylodes promoted above the hawthorn-leaven core so the dispersal props the spleen it works in, with the two yellows watching for the heat that old stagnation brews. The disperser that plans to stay a while. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
