Clinical commentary 臨床

Jeongji-hwan tilted toward phlegm — amber to settle and turmeric root to open what constraint has bound in the chest. Where the original pill treats a spirit that will not stay put, this one treats a spirit that cannot get through, and the two additions are precisely the difference. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
