Clinical commentary 臨床

Zhang Jing-yue's revision of the Yang-tonifying method — no draining herbs at all, on the principle that a depleted patient cannot afford to lose anything. "Seek Yang within Yin" made into a formula. Aconite must be properly processed. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
