Clinical commentary 臨床

Danxi's ladder names this the first drug rung, and the dosing shows why — the breakers are demoted to two-don bit parts while the fragrances govern. The pill for the meal that merely lingered: named, fittingly, for rice cooked soft. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
