Clinical commentary 臨床

Asafoetida with the standard food-reducing set behind it at double weight, with no croton and nothing toxic — the mildest of the meat-accumulation formulas and the one that can be taken over time. Vinegar-boiling the resin softens it and makes it workable into pills. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
