Clinical commentary 臨床

The heaviest of the incontinence pills — leek seed at six nyang with antler velvet behind it, for the bladder that has gone cold altogether. Leek seed is the chapter's signature medicinal for holding urine, and it heads three of these formulas. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
