Clinical commentary 臨床

The formula for the im years, where the wood circuit is in excess and the spleen takes the damage. Eight medicinals at an equal 1 jeon, all of them warming and drying — the plainest spleen formula of the ten, and essentially Pyeongwi-san with poria, green peel, tsaoko and blast-fried ginger added. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
