In the published article, there was an error. The formula listed for JGF was incorrect.
A correction has been made to Materials and Methods, Jing Guan Fang Preparation, paragraph one. The incorrect sentence previously stated:
“The formula for JGF uses five herbs: 10 mg of Forsythia suspensa (30.3% of total weight), 8 mg of Scutellaria baicalensis (24.2% of total weight), 6 mg of Bupleurum chinese (18.2% of total weight), 6 mg of Magnolia officinalis (18.2% of total weight) and 3 mg of Agastache rugose (9.0% of total weight).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The formula for JGF uses five herbs: 10 g of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl [Oleaceae] (30.3% of total weight), 8 g of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi [Labiatae] (24.2% of total weight), 6 g of Bupleurum chinense DC. [Umbelliferae] (18.2% of total weight), 6 g of Magnolia officinalis Rehder & E.H.Wilson var. biloba Rehder & E.H.Wilson [Magnoliaceae] (18.2% of total weight) and 3 g of Agastache rugosa (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) Kuntze [Labiatae] (9.0% of total weight).”
