SP, LU (9-15g)
Dang Shen - Where did he go?
Where is that dang Dr Shen? Did he go to tonify SP to augment qi at the restaurant or is he perhaps tonifying his LU and generating fluids at the bloody bar? Wherever he is I hope he doesn't party too hard because her really needs to support the anti-pathogenic qi.
They say Dr Shen is incompatible with his wife Li Lu (cc: incompatible with Li Lu) because of her (cc: excess heat or qi stagnation)
