Clinical commentary 臨床

The ice screen is a white opacity read as liver heat congealed, and the treatment is the opposite of the two formulas above — cool, dispersing, with nothing enriching in it. Bitter bamboo leaf as the vehicle sends the heat out through the urine, and the whole prescription is light enough to give alongside something else. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
