Clinical commentary 臨床

內托 — expression from within: astragalus and angelica push the toxin out rather than draining it down, which is the Sores chapter's method for a deep infection in a patient who cannot be purged. Three pun of cinnamon keeps the cooling from stalling it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
