Clinical commentary 臨床

The same six medicinals as Haedok-hwan in different proportions, with the morning glory seed raised from five don to four nyang. The Hoechun has taken a clearing formula and made it a purging one. **Contains a strong purgative. Contraindicated in pregnancy.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
