Clinical commentary 臨床

Minor Bupleurum's frame with the Blood side rewritten — red peony and raw rehmannia instead of the warming pair, and peach kernel with flying-squirrel droppings added to break what has stood. 'Heat entering the chamber of Blood' is the classical name for fever that follows the menses or a birth into the emptied uterus, and this is its coursing-and-breaking answer, as against the pure clearing formulas used when there is no stasis to move. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
