Clinical commentary 臨床

The most elaborate formula in this section and the one where the two traditions sit side by side: ten pharmacological drugs decocted together, and then a measure of burnt undergarment stirred into the finished cup. Strip that last ingredient out and what remains is a coherent formula — bupleurum and bamboo skin to vent, coptis and rhinoceros horn to cool the blood, fresh rehmannia and anemarrhena for the fluids, talc to drain downward, Chinese chive white for the lower burner, ginseng and licorice to hold the patient up. The instruction to double the bamboo skin where the testicles retract and the abdomen pains is the kind of specific dose modification that shows the formula was actually used. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
