药有补泻,贵在得配。

Pinyin

Yào yǒu bǔ xiè, guì zài dé pèi.

English Translation

Medicinals have compatibilities and incompatibilities: properly matched, their effect doubles; improperly matched, harm arises. This book discusses in detail which combinations suit and which do not, as a rule for prescribing at the bedside.

📝 Commentary

Yan Xiting's Qing monograph on medicinal compatibility. Its theme: correct pairing doubles efficacy while wrong pairing breeds harm.
