Clinical commentary 臨床

The decoction counterpart to Yanghyeoljanggeungeonbo-hwan, and the difference is what a decoction is for: this can be adjusted week to week while the pill formula is committed to for months. Job's tears is the addition worth noticing — it drains damp downward through the urine without the coldness of the usual draining herbs, which suits a patient too depleted for aggressive clearing. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
