Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : Military Medicine, as its name suggests, deals with the subject of medicine in military settings. War has always been part of human history, and continues to be so even to this date. As such, many soldiers who take part in battles suffer from, or under the danger of, trauma and disease. Very few records in Korea deal with military medicine. Through a research, however, it was discovered that Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang
contains a number of mentions regarding the subject matter. As such, the paper will review military medicine as mentioned in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang.
Methods : Bingbushouji as discovered in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang was reviewed and its main treatment, origin, usage, and reference were categorized and given considerations.
Results : Bingbushouji was referened 29 times in Euibangyuchwi and 22 times in Hyangyakjipseongbang. In most instances, Bingbushouji was used as simple prescription, and its usage mainly revolved around the exterior of human body, such as applying directly on the skin.
Conclusions : A study of the texts in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang revealed that Bingbushouji was put together to treat the ailments and diseases of the soldiers during wartime, and to provide treatment to soldiers and non-combatants statying in a region where medical expertise is scarce.
