|
Objective : In this study, we try to identify the herbal formulated by Heo Im from Kyeongheombang(經驗方), and investigate its medical property.
Method : Those articles referenced from Heo Im’s herbal formulas in ??Sauikyeongheombang(四醫經驗方)?? were extracted and results were quantitatively analyzed. From extracted empirical formulas, those categorized as externally applicable formulas were grouped by several standards and their medical significance was analyzed.
Results and Conclusions : 85 and 66 articles were designated to be referred from Heo(許) in ??Sauikyeongheombang?? and ??Uibanghapbu(醫方合部)?? in each category, and 263 and 155 were identified to be Heo Im formulas, respectively. Externally applicable formulas in Heo Im’s empirical recipes have following characteristics. First, various methods were used by Heo Im. Second, Heo Im’s empirical formulas suggest useful clinical information maximizing therapeutic effect, which is of much value, originated from his practical experiences as a clinician. Third, Heo Im’s therapy favorably succeeds the tradition of Hyangyak-medicine and Empirical -medicine. From this information, Heo Im is thought to have had rich insight and experience, not only in acupuncture but also in the prescription of herbal formulas at those days.
