Clinical commentary 臨床

Twelve herbs at a flat two nyang four don each, with only the aconite and cinnamon raised — an unusually even construction that treats the whole lower region at once rather than aiming at one thing. The indication pairs the back with the bladder, which is the pattern this chapter returns to: a lumbus that aches and a urine that will not hold are read as one failure, not two. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
