Clinical commentary 臨床

Dongwon at his most architectural — sixteen ingredients in gram-and-a-half calibrations, chasing latent fire through the blood while ephedra root holds the sweat and the peach and apricot kernels keep the depleted blood from stagnating. Not a first formula; a connoisseur's formula. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
