Clinical commentary 臨床

Four medicinals in equal weight with honey in the pot — the two yellows to drain the heat downward, the two light drugs to disperse above. Proud flesh climbing the cornea is a pterygium, and nothing taken by mouth removes one; what this would have done is settle the inflammation around it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
