Clinical commentary 臨床

Rehmannia with the Essence chapter's warm supplements — cistanche, morinda, eucommia — and achyranthes to send them to the lumbus. 腰脊重痛, the back heavy and aching, is the kidney's sign from 6.8, and this is the chapter's one decoction for it; the other five are pills. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
