Clinical commentary 臨床

A 四物湯 core with 茯神 and 酸棗仁 added for the spirit, 陳皮 to keep the blood medicinals from cloying, and a small dose of wine-fried 黃連 to take the edge off the heat. The one formula in this group with no mineral in it, and the one that can be used as written. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
