Objective: This paper aims to examine situations that were conceived as incurable at the time of publication of the 'Huangdineijing'.
Method: The texts of the 'Huangdineijing' were searched for contents which included 'cannot be cured.' Next, the verses were examined within their context, after which those that specifically indicated 'incurability' were selected. These were categorized according to content, then organized to better show the situations that were seen as incurable to the authors of the 'Huangdineijing'.
Results: The conditions deemed incurable in the 'Huangdineijing' were bloody and purulent stool, ascites, tumors, some urulent inflammation, some infectious diseases with fever, wasting thirst, chronic kidney disorder, some diseases of the connective tissue, epilepsy, cardiac infarction, and cerebrovascular diseases. Internal damage due to acupuncture and poor patient attitude were could also contribute to incurability.
Conclusion: The authors of the 'Huangdineijing' were unable to cure some conditions that are currently being cured by Korean Medicine.
