Clinical commentary 臨床

One medicinal, processed four ways and the four processing agents thrown away. The technique is the pharmacy's: atractylodes fried with astragalus takes on its holding, with oyster shell its astringency, and so on — and only the atractylodes is kept. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
