Clinical commentary 臨床

Seventeen medicinals with only two doing the driving — white morning glory seed and croton — and fifteen supporting them. The water accumulation subsection at 1.13.8 recommends Sipjo-tang and Samhwa Sinu-hwan first and offers this alongside Gungha-tang from the Phlegm-Rheum chapter, so the same condition is addressed by three chapters at once. Compare Gyeoneumjisil-hwan at Damum 6.20.5, which uses black morning glory seed for the same purpose. **Contains croton and morning glory seed, both drastic purgatives, croton toxic. Contraindicated in pregnancy and not suitable for self-administration.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
