Method of interpretations of Sasang (constitutional) prescription

사상방제(四象方劑) 구성(構成)의 분석연구(分析硏究)

Dong-Mu's philosophy is based on the postulation of 'Sa Sim Sin Mul'. The attempt toactualize the postulation is seen through the books 'Kyun chigo' and 'Dongeuisusebowon'. That is to say the physiology, pathology and pharmacology of Sasang based on Dong-Mu's philosophy all belong to the category of Sa Sim Sin Mul. But the interpretations of Sasang prescription have been made as 'The recipe for symptoms'. it is different from Dong-Mu's view. Appearing of disease can interpretate the strength and weakness of resistance based on the constitution. So, I tried to analogize properties of drugs showed in his writings on the assumption of resistance of the constitution.
