Clinical commentary 臨床

Coptis processed with evodia — Jwageum-hwan's pairing, used here to cool a liver that has overrun its ground while the ginseng and atractylodes hold the middle. 4.6's qi mounting is the one that comes and goes with anger and crying. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
