Clinical commentary 臨床

上熱如火, 下寒如氷 — heat above like fire and cold below like ice. Dongwon's answer is a decoction in three stages, with the cold medicinals steeped a day ahead and added only at the very end so they never meet the fire. It is the most elaborate preparation in the Bogam. **Contains aconite, which is toxic. White hollyhock blossom is named in the source but is not registered in this database and is omitted from the ingredient list.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
