Clinical commentary 臨床

The same indication as Pyeongpye-san above and seven drugs instead of thirteen, with the poppy husk and the cooling drugs left out. What remains is the core that the chapter uses for a phlegmy wheeze — mulberry root bark and apricot kernel leading, perilla leaf to release the surface, pinellia and tangerine peel for the phlegm, schisandra and aster to settle the cough. Set beside Pyeongpye-san it reads as the version for a case still acute enough to want opening rather than astringing. **Contains pinellia, which is toxic in the raw state and must be properly processed.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
