Clinical commentary 臨床

Hongwon-ja at 1.13.13 with cyperus doubled and put at the head, lesser galangal added, and vinegar used at every stage — frying, binding. The change of emphasis is what moves it from food accumulation to blood accumulation: cyperus is the qi medicinal of the blood aspect, and vinegar directs everything to the liver. Nothing in the formula is a blood medicinal in the strict sense, which is the section's consistent position that blood accumulation is moved by moving its qi. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
