Clinical commentary 臨床

Chuanxiong leading a qi formula — Danxi's rule from the Blood chapter's 1.27.1 that chuanxiong is the chief when nothing else has worked, applied to qi. The three harmonies are qi, blood and damp, one medicinal for each behind it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
