Translation

Treats qi depressed and stagnant. Agastache and licorice (mix-fried) 8 don each; amomum 4 don; aloeswood, costus, clove, sandalwood and cardamom 2 don each.

Clinical commentary 臨床

Five aromatics — aloeswood, costus, clove, sandalwood, cardamom — with agastache in front of them. The tradition's fragrant medicinals for opening what is closed, and 勻, evening the qi, is what fragrance was held to do: not push, but spread. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
