Clinical commentary 臨床

Rectify-the-Center grown four new hands — the ancestral ginseng-ginger-atractylodes-licorice core with amomum, poria, and the two ferments added, and the proportions righted back toward atractylodes. Where Yangbi-hwan is a hearth, this is a working kitchen. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
