Clinical commentary 臨床

Tsaoko is the tradition's specific for malaria and the reason this formula is here; magnolia bark at the same weight moves what the fever has left standing. The proportions are extreme — five don of the two chiefs against three and two pun of the rest. **Malaria in pregnancy is dangerous to mother and foetus and requires modern antimalarial treatment.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
