Abstract

This research is an analysis of medical essay article 62 by Jang Jong-jung that is quotated in "Donguibogam". The opinion through out the essay is that the way of healing on the whole is eliminating the origin of illness above all. Three methods of sweating, vomiting, and purging that Jang applied are profoundly connected to this opinion. Non-medicinal treatment of emotion disorders that is quoted in "Donguibogam" is also closely related. The consideration of Unqi(circulating qi) as the best way of searching etiological factor, pathology, and treatment, in "Donguibogam" is close to the view of medical essay by Jang Jong-jung.
