Clinical commentary 臨床

Where Hojam-hwan drains a fire, Jeeum-hwan rescues a foundation — rehmannia at half a pound, phellodendron demoted to a supporting seat, the whole formula tilted from firefighting toward rebuilding. Danxi's answer for the patient whose Yin vacuity has stopped burning and started collapsing. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
