Clinical commentary 臨床

The section's doctrine as a single pot — the arisaema-pinellia crew dispersing the phlegm, five coolers downing the fire, the atractylodes-peony trio fortifying the ground both grew from. Eleven herbs at one flat humble dose: a committee formula for a committee disease. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
