Clinical commentary 臨床

Thirty-one medicinals at an identical 2.5 don, which is what a formula looks like when it is assembled by category rather than designed: every family of accumulation medicinal in the chapter is represented once. The three drastic purgatives of Sipjo-tang appear together with realgar and croton frost, and the dose is nonetheless thirty to fifty pills. **Contains kansui, genkwa, euphorbia, croton frost, sal ammoniac and realgar. Must not be prepared or taken; it also contains pangolin scale, CITES Appendix I and prohibited in trade. Recorded for textual completeness only.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
