Clinical commentary 臨床

Where the Ten Thousand Cups elixir armors, this one provisions — ginseng, asparagus, lycium, and moutan slipped in among the resolvers, so the pill spends the evening quietly refilling what the cups draw out. The Hoechun's realism: the drinker who cannot be stopped can at least be supplied. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
