Clinical commentary 臨床

Taxation heat answered in the internal-damage grammar — astragalus outranking every cooler in its own cooling formula, with bamboo leaf and a palmful of wheat riding escort in the pot. The name honors the young scutellaria (子芩); the dosing honors Dongyuan: even here, the fever of the worn-out is fed first. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
