WHAT IS 8 CONSTITUTION MEDICINE?

January 2016 Light and Salt by Younkuk Choi

While practicing eight-constitution medicine (ECM), we encounter many seemingly unbelievable cases of intractable disease being cured and the patients who experience these cases often become true believers of ECM. The reason may be quite simple. People diagnosed with cancer may hold out hope, like grasping at straws, that various Korean and alternative medicine methods, as well as Western medicine, can cure

Barley Tea and Rice for Pancreotonia and Pulmotonia

March 1994 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

Barley is one of the most important grains to Korean people. It is high in diastase, which makes barley easy to digest and causes barley to be an aid in digestion. Since diastase helps to alleviate fevers, it is good for children who are ill. However, barley may not be beneficial to everyone, and it could even be harmful to some people. Then how can we discern who benefits from barley and who does not?

Gold and Bodytype

Gold is a rare and precious metal and is highly valued in most people’s estimation. A gold crown is worn by royalty, and a gold medal is the highest award one can receive in a competition. In the East or the West, past or present, human beings have always desired to have gold. For this reason, gold is considered to be the finest material for metal arts and the value of gold is also used as the monetary standard in many countries around the

Do all patients with serious illnesses have to eat only vegetables?

May 1994 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

Today the number of vegetarians is increasing. Some say that people who have incurable or serious diseases eat only vegetables, and there is no question that some have had their health restored through maintaining a vegetarian diet. However, there are nevertheless quite a number of people who benefit from eating meat. These cases, which might have occurred accidentally, tell us that we should exercise discretion in how we

Dextrose Injection and Body Type

June 1994 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

It seems that people who say that a dextrose injection can cause addiction are speaking nonsense. Dextrose injections supposedly supply the most basic nutrients through the blood vessels for people with serious illnesses who are not able to eat. I have not been able to make this idea known to the public for thirty years and have told only those in need of this knowledge, since this idea has not been confirmed by any medical practice o

Bathing Methods according to Body Type

The main purpose of taking a bath is to keep our body clean. However, when it comes to the effects of bathing, we need to consider the aspects of bathing as they are related to our health.

Hot baths include a bath taken in a hot springs and saunas, while cold

Constitutions and Breathing

October 1994 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

There are two kinds of breathing: thoracic and abdominal. In thoracic breathing the chest expands in inhalation and shrinks in exhalation. We use thoracic breathing when we inhale with our arms up and exhale when we put our arms down. In abdominal respiration the stomach expands in a manner similar to a rabbit’s breathing. If you look at babies carefully when they are sleeping, you see their stomach rather than their chest

Vitamins and Constitutions

March 1995 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

When vitamins, which are the organic substances of life, were first introduced, people believed that they could take vitamins as much as possible and that there were no side effects from taking them. But after a while they found out that there were diseases caused by vitamin overdose. Then people began to realize that even with effective vitamins, taking them could have different results: if too much is taken, there could be un

Why the Eight Body Constitutions?

May 1995 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

In Nae-kyong, an old medical book in China, there is something called Twenty-five Tae-in. Hippocrates talked about the four cardinal humors, and there is also the theory of four body types. There have been people who caused confusion by saying that, in addition to the above theories, there are 16 constitutions, 24 constitutions, etc., without providing any principle or method for their classifications and without providing any remedies.

The Diseases That Indicate Your Constitution

July 1995 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

The eight constitutions are all susceptible to conditions and diseases like headache, stomachache, hepatitis, and gastritis. However, because the pathology of each constitution is different from that of one another, the treatment and regimen for each constitution also differ, according to the Eight Constitutions Medicine. Differences in pathology between the constitutions come from the different arrays of the strong and the

Allergies, the Sign of Constitutional Protection

October 1995 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

Many people in the world suffer from various kinds of allergies, such as nasal allergy, skin allergy, asthma, and hay fever. Generally, allergies are considered as indications of being oversensitive. We need to consider this matter by observing not so much the cause of these allergies but the individuals who suffer from these allergies.

Constitution and Profession

A profession is a mission that has been charged to a person by the heavens, that is, the heavens’ will commanded to him. In order to know what mission has been given to you, you should first know yourself, and to know yourself is to know which body constitution you have (知體質而知天命).

Constitution and Marriages

June 1996 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

We do not know much about the wise wives of great men, but we do hear about the bad ones. Socrates, Tolstoy, Lincoln, and Wesley were all known to have had wicked wives. Some people believe that Confucius remained unmarried because he never talked about his wife in any of his writings. However, because he mentioned his children in his writings, he might have had a wife, but who he did not wish to mention. But we should not blame

Constitution (Bodytype) and Heredity?

September 1996 Light and Salt Dr. Dowon Kuon

During the stages of gestation, at a certain point a person’s constitution is determined. Therefore, we can tell which constitution a person will have by investigating the time and the date of their birth. Then when we consider that the eight constitutions are inherited from parents, there is a strong possibility that the 280th day from the date of a person's conception does not match his constitution that he may inherit from either one of his

Life has a scientific aspect that is visible and a mysterious or metaphysical aspect that is invisible. In the medical world, after a long journey to find the scientific nature of life, scientists discovered and tried to understand the structure of DNA.

To make young children understand what the mystery of life might not be easy. However, this should somewhat impress older people who have more experience in life, so I would like to continue to present my theory. The opposite constitution of hepatonia is pulmotonia. Individuals with this constitution also inherit their body type from either one of the parents and are born in a fixed period of time in which other constitutions cannot

When a man marries a woman, sometimes this union is very satisfying and peaceful. Everything goes well with them, including their health, so their marriage becomes an object of envy. However, in other couples, everything becomes depressing in the marriage, and both sides are easily irritated even though they try hard to bear each other and to live together.

Recently, we often hear news about cows that died at cattle ranches without explanation. While people have looked into various factors that might have caused the death, they have not considered the cause of feeding cows with meat. If cows see that you are feeding them raw meat, they would not eat it. So, you have to make a soup with meat, feed them with other fodder, or pulverize the meat and mix in it with other fodder so that

People may improve and obtain competency through persistent practice and training. But if a person is very good at something even without practice, it may be that he was born with a particular constitutional trait. Let us take golf as an example.

A house facing the north has been considered a house of ill omen. This is understandable because it is easy to think that the cold and gloomy atmosphere of a north-facing house is the cause of woes happening in the house. However, there are people who have a healthy and happy life in a north-facing house. What is the reason for this?

Animals are classified into carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores, and they are different in their talents, disposition, courage, and preferences according to their species. Although human beings belong one kind of species, every person has different preferences and hobbies, and takes different types of food according to each one's individuality. How may all these different individuals live together in peace? Even moralism or pacifism did not
