Clinical commentary 臨床
The strongest collateral-opener in the common repertoire — two aconites, classically as tiny wine-taken pills, never casual decoction. Both aconites must be properly processed and dosed conservatively; this is a formula that demands respect. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
