Clinical commentary 臨床

Five medicinals and not one of them cold except in the mildest sense — the only formula among the general prescriptions with no coptis, no gardenia and no rhubarb. Bupleurum at three don courses the liver, poria drains, mulberry root bark frees the lung, chuanxiong moves the blood. It is the gentlest of the chapter's general formulas and the one for a jaundice without marked heat. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
