Clinical commentary 臨床
Four medicinals, two wind and two fire, in equal parts — Zhang Yuansu's formula and the plainest expression of the chapter's theory: an acute red eye is wind and heat together, so disperse and clear in the same breath and do nothing else. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
