Clinical commentary 臨床

Each ingredient is labelled with the kind of pile it answers, so one powder covers all five. It is the chapter's method throughout: 2.6 names the five and the formulas that follow are built to match them one by one. **Musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
