Clinical commentary 臨床

Jinjubun-hwan's two with the spirit medicinals added — ginseng and poria to hold the heart, polygala and acorus to steady it — for the patient whose dreams come from a mind that will not settle. 定志, settling the will, is the difference from the plain pill, and the section's title says the dreams belong to the heart. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
