Clinical commentary 臨床

Ten medicinals in equal weight, the two cassias and the two sloughs among them, and the licorice roasted in salt water rather than honey — the salt aims the formula at the kidney, which is the Jikji's way of keeping a drying prescription from emptying the water below. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
