The "Ojangyukbudoçéíôë»Ý°Óñ", cited in "OjangmunçéíúÚ¦" of "Euibangyuchwiì¢Û°×¾ö©", was written by Ho Eum, a woman Taoist master who lived in Dang Dynasty. She put stress on the medical theory of the five viscera and the six entrails to overcome the side effects of Oedansul[alchemy for immortality] which prevailed during the period of Dang, and established a medical system which was based on six viscera and entrails and combined with Taoist theories. The major features of "Ojangyukbudoçéíôë»Ý°Óñ" can be summarized in the six-part medical system, the diagrams which describe the principles of viscera and entrails in detail, and the methods of Suyang[áóå×Ûö:mental training], Tonap[÷ÎÒ¡ Ûö:respiration] and Doin[ÓôìÚÛö:physical training] for regulating the functions of viscera and entrails and curing diseases. The "DongeuibogamÔÔì¢ÜÄÊü", a medical book from Joseon Dynasty, accepted the methods of Suyang and Doin, and the "Yorayaké©ÕÔ", a transcript from Joseon's later period, accepted the Taoist medicine based on six viscera and entrails, combined it with the contents of "DongeuibogamÔÔì¢ÜÄÊü", thus composing a unique medical system. Especially, the "Yorayaké©ÕÔ" is a literature important for the study of Joseon's Taoist medicine.
