Clinical commentary 臨床

八物湯 with 遠志ㆍ茯神ㆍ酸棗仁 for the spirit, one phlegm medicinal, and a token dose of wine-fried coptis. Of the many formulas 5.13 lists this is the one for 心藏虛損, 氣血不足 — the patient worn down by years of fits rather than in the fit — and it is the only one in that section with no mineral in it, so it can be used as written. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
