Clinical commentary 臨床

The year formula for jin and sul years, where greater yang cold water governs heaven. The only one of the six with no ginger or jujube added at the end, and the only one with chebule, which the Stool chapter uses to hold a loose bowel — the year's own 注下赤白 at 1.44.5. The name is the level-qi chronogram of the water circuit given at 1.29. **Aconite accessory root is acutely cardiotoxic and this must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
