Traditional Korean medicine
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Traditional Korean medicine developed alongside and from Chinese medical techniques and procedures. Chinese medical texts and training in Korea go back a thousand years, with Korean medicine advancing during the Joseon dynasty under Confucian direction. Techniques in treatment and approach are similar in the main to Chinese medical techniques.
Four types of constitutions analysed under pin the beginnings of Korean medical analysis: taeyin, soyin, taeyang, and soyang which correspond to the Chinese ying-yang energy system.
