Clinical commentary 臨床

Twenty-four medicinals, the largest formula in the chapter, and 分二貼 — divided into two packets — because one would be too much to decoct. The Medicine Use chapter's 5.25 argued against exactly this, and 5.27's hunter with his net over the whole field is the criticism it would draw. The Jeongjeon offers it for pain or swelling from any qi, which is the indication a formula this broad ends up with. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
