Clinical commentary 臨床

The Bangyakhappyeon workhorse for joint pain that mixes wind, damp, phlegm, and stasis — which is to say, most chronic joint pain. Ensure Bangi is Sinomenium, never Aristolochia species. Pairs naturally with acupuncture in musculoskeletal cases. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
