Clinical commentary 臨床

Insamgobon-hwan — the pill the Essence chapter cross-referenced at 3.15.1 — as a wine. The same six medicinals, two rehmannias and two ophiopogons with poria and ginseng, steeped and boiled until the wine goes black. Three to five cups on an empty stomach is a dose meant for the old. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
