Clinical commentary 臨床

Four aromatics — tsaoko, agastache, amomum, red tangerine peel — with galangal to warm and atractylodes and poria to hold the centre. Nothing here is acrid enough to open the exterior, which is deliberate: sweating a pregnant woman is avoided. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
