Clinical commentary 臨床

For the deficient patient losing what little they hold — sweat, essence, sleep, composure. The soft-constitution counterpart of Sihogayonggolmorye-tang; the same minerals, but anchored to a nourishing rather than a draining chassis. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
