Clinical commentary 臨床

The second half of the Uigam's two-stage treatment: move the phlegm with 寧志化痰湯 while the episode is active, then build blood and qi with this. Nine medicinals, no mineral, and the construction is 四物湯 and 四君子湯 crossed with 遠志ㆍ茯神ㆍ酸棗仁 — the same shape as 滋陰寧神湯 and 加減補心湯, which is the chapter's settled answer to a spirit left depleted. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
