Clinical commentary 臨床

破笛, breaking the flute — the voice worn through by singing, and the formula is still made in Korea and China for exactly that. Mint and platycodon to open, chebula to hold, rhubarb to draw the heat down, and egg white both as a binder and as the thing singers have always swallowed for a tired throat. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
