Clinical commentary 臨床

The same complaint as the formula above, read the other way. Where the Hoechun treats clamouring as phlegm and fire, the Uigam treats it as blood vacuity with heat rising into the empty space. The chapter records both without adjudicating, and the discriminating sign is at 1.25.6: where the patient is thin and pale and the clamouring worsens when hungry, it is blood. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
