Clinical commentary 臨床

The companion to the Myriad Diseases Five Substances Powder earlier, with the cassia bark dropped and gardenia put in — the same frame turned from a cold damp diarrhoea to a hot one. The pair is a useful illustration of how this pharmacy works: the water-moving core does not change, and the diagnosis is carried by one or two drugs at the margin. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
