Foreword

Studying Traditional Asian Medicine is like the blind men touching a giant elephant to learn what it is like. With thousands years of history, there is a myriad of literature and theories, and not only is it hard to perceive the big picture, it takes effort to distinguish between the gems and pebbles.

As a practitioner, it is also very easy to be stuck in one outstanding theory and delude oneself that he or she has mastered the whole Traditional Asian Medicine. However, Traditional Asian Medicine itself is a masterpiece that has not been completed.

Here are two pieces of a picture of the giant elephant of Traditional Asian Medicine that have been practiced in China, Korea, and Japan but not fully adopted in traditional Asian medical education in the US.

These two can be indicators in prescribing formulas based on Shang Han Lun, one from the individual constitutional perspective of Dr. Lee Jema and the other from the single herbal functional perspective of Dr. Todo Yoshimas. I believe these are crucial clues to putting all the pieces together in Asian herbal formula practice, yet need to be further studied and proved in clinical settings.

My clinical case studies are also added after the introduction of Dr. Lee and Dr. Todo’s studies. These clinical cases are the little fruits of my ten years of practice after struggling to find better way to approach to Asian Medicine. I hope this book can provide herbal practitioners with stepping stones on the journey to mastering Asian Medicine.

Chapter 1 Korean Constitutional Medicine

An American author, Lierre Keith, published a book titled “The Vegetarian Myth” in 2009 revealing the risk of a vegan diet after she suffered from numerous chronic health problems and decided that the vegan diet she had followed for twenty years was to blame. People on nutritional diet websites or blogs have been debating this book, arguing which diet is better, vegetarian or non-vegetarian.

When we get to know about body constitution, we don’t have to struggle to pick one diet or another as an answer for everyone. When we fully understand that there are different body types and corresponding diets for each, it is a lot easier to understand how our bodies work.
