Clinical commentary 臨床

The head of a set of four 'left channel' formulas found almost nowhere else in the literature. This one covers all three foot Yang channels at once, and its seventeen herbs at a flat five fun each are a deliberate breadth rather than a lack of focus: wind, cold, summerheat, and damp are all being addressed because the indication names all four. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
