Clinical commentary 臨床

For the gnaw with a dinner underneath it — the Hoechun runs the whole playbook at once: ferments for the meal, cyperus and cnidium for the mood, the fried pair of gardenia and ginger-coptis that Danxi called indispensable for food-constraint heat. The section's most inclusive net. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
