Clinical commentary 臨床

Palmul-tang — the eight substances — with large gentian and polygala leaf added. Where the two preceding formulas for this pattern are cold minerals, this one supplements qi and blood throughout and clears almost nothing. The contrast is the chapter's own argument. 女勞疸 arises from depletion, and the same pattern may be treated by draining what has accumulated or by restoring what was spent. The chapter records both without choosing. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
