Abstract

|
|
1. Objectives:The purpose of this study is to find the ground why constitution must be classified into 4 types.
2. Methods: I analysed the basic presuppositions to class 4 Type Constitution in Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). And I connected the presuppositions with other theories from the viewpoint of directional properties of human body.
3. Results and Conclusions: The most important presupposition to class 4 Type Constitution and apply to clinical therapy in SCM is that there is native strength and weakness of lung’s Exhale Dispersing Qi, liver’s Inhale Gathering Qi, spleen’s Ascending Yin Qi and kidney’s Descending Yang Qi. If there is superior tendency of Qi flow direction in human body, 6 directions(upward, downward, forward, backward, outward and inward) will be remarkable. But, in embryonic period, the outer skin is originated from the back(ectoderm) and the alimentary canal is from the front(endoderm). Therefore 4 directions(upward, downward, outward and inward) will be more remarkable, and those directions are included in the former presupposition.
