Abstract
1. Objectives : This paper was written in order to understand the origin and changes of Galgeunhaegi-tang. 2. Methods : We analysis Galgeunhaegi-tang through pathology and new prescription in "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)", "Chobongwon(草本卷)", "Gabobon(甲午本)" and "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" of "Dongyi Suse Bowon". 3. Results and Conclusions : We can find the first origin of Galgeunhaegi-tang in "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" in "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)" which invelves Galgeunhaegi-tang in the categories of pestilence(瘟疫) and Yangmyeonggyeongbyeong(陽明經病).

Seungeumgalgeun-tang in the "Chobongwon(草本卷)" developed by a Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Gabobon(甲午本)", and Galgeunnabokja-tang in the "Chobongwon(草本卷)" developed by a Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)". It is considered that Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Gabobon(甲午本)" solves heat depression(鬱熱), due to not throwing off, by using Galgeun(葛根) and Daehwang(大黃), and accompanied dryness(燥) by using Hangin(杏仁) and Sanjoin(酸棗仁) which moisten dryness(燥). It is considered that Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" solves heat depression(鬱熱) by using Galgeun(葛根) and accompanied dryness(燥) by using Gobon(藁本) which sets free dryness(燥).
