Clinical commentary 臨床

The Free Wanderer sent into the fire chapter — for the fever that arrives punctually at midnight and noon, the hinge hours when Yin and Yang change guard. Bupleurum courses what constraint has bound, lycium bark and gentiana cool the bone-level heat, and the drainers give it somewhere to go. The formula a modern clinic reaches for when 'hot flashes with irritability' walks in. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
