Clinical commentary 臨床

Zhongjing's Danggwisaenggang Yangyuk-tang, and it is food rather than medicine: a mutton broth with ginger and angelica, given three times a day. The chapter's gentlest answer to a cold abdomen, and the one it gives where the pain is too severe to be touched. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
