Clinical commentary 臨床

Two herbs, two to one — rehmannia and angelica, the tradition's minimum for building Blood, offered here as an entire strategy. The reasoning is stated in the indication: the two vessels that rise from the womb have gone empty, so the way to quiet the pregnancy is to fill them. No securing agents, no astringents, nothing aimed at the fetus directly. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
