	+1 Jeffrey Schifanelli (Rootdown Editor) Added ''Suggestion'' "Mu Li and Long Gu both anchor the Liver yang, calm the shen and stop loss of body fluids. Mu Li enters the Liver, more strongly anchors Liver yang, clears heat and nourishes yin. Long Gu enters the Heart and more effectively calms the shen and astringes body fluids." to: Mu Li (牡蠣, oyster shell) add comment

Added ''Suggestion'' "10 to 30 grams in decoction, 1 to 3 grams of Ci Shi when taken as powder or pills. Crush and pre-decoct it to maximize the extraction of active components. The calcined form prepared by vinegar and fire is preferred, as it is easier to extract the active constituents from this than the unprocessed form." to:

Ci Shi
(磁石, magnetic stone)
