Clinical commentary 臨床

Twelve drugs, nine of them qi movers, for the constipation that comes with distension rather than with dryness. Bush-cherry kernel leads: it is oily and gently purgative, the one moistening drug in a formula otherwise devoted to moving gas downward. For a patient bloated and bound rather than merely bound, this is the better-aimed prescription of the section. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
