Abstract
Objectives: This study is on the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment records of King Hyeonjong, classified according to diseases and chronology.

Methods: Records on the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of King Hyeonjong have been extracted from the web database of "The Daily Records of Royal Secretariat of Chosun Dynasty". First, all articles containing the keywords ¡¯Yakbang (å·Û®)¡¯ and ¡¯Euigwan (ì¢Î¯)¡¯ have been extracted. Then, those during King Hyeonjong¡¯s reign have been rearranged in chronological order. Among these records, those regarding acupuncture and moxibustion have been used in this paper.

Results: King Hyeonjong was mostly treated on eye diseases, musculoskeletal system disorders, deficient source qi, and tumor. Acupuncture treatment was preferred for eye diseases, and moxibustion treatment for musculoskeletal disorders. Medicine was used 50 times, acupuncture 4 times, and moxibustion 14 times to treat source qi deficiency, showing that acupuncture and moxibustion treatments were used for clear deficiency syndrome. Only on the case of tumor, the number of acupuncture treatments was bigger than that of medicine treatments.

Conslusions: In the early days of his reign, King Hyeonjong suffered from hypochondria, as compared to source qi deficiency and septicemia during later days. He received frequent acupuncture and moxibustion treatments, and he especially preferred those treatments for eye diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.
