Clinical commentary 臨床

Nineteen medicinals, and nearly every one is processed — vinegar for the liver, wine for the blood, salt water for the lower burner. The Hoechun works this way throughout: the base is ordinary and the direction comes from the frying. 有積塊動痛 — accumulated lumps that stir and ache — describes a mass that moves under the hand and hurts, which is how the chapter distinguishes a conglomeration from a concretion at 13.13. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
