Clinical commentary 臨床

Saengmaek-san — ginseng, ophiopogon, schisandra — with the four spirit medicinals of the Spirit chapter behind it. 醒, waking: the formula is for a heart too tired to think clearly, and polygala and acorus are the tradition's pair for opening the heart's orifice. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
