Clinical commentary 臨床

The plainer sibling of Gobongeonyang-dan — the same warming architecture without the ginseng and lycium, and with a modification clause that reads like a clinical algorithm: if the essence will not hold, double the antler and anchor it with two minerals. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
