Clinical commentary 臨床
The final station of the four-level heat sequence — heat in the Blood itself, cooled while Mokdanpi keeps the cooled blood from congealing. Water buffalo horn replaces the original rhinoceros horn, as modern practice and CITES require. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
