Fortifies the Spleen and nourishes the Stomach; moves and transforms food and drink.

Clinical commentary 臨床

Tonify and digest in one motion — the Sansa-Singok-Maega trio clears the backlog while the four gentlemen rebuild capacity. For the patient who is both weak and perpetually "backed up" after meals. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
