  • Over the past several decades there have been many attempts to integrate the fields of Conventional and Holistic medicine. However, to date, successful integration has yet to be achieved. For the purpose of providing greater understanding and effective methods for the diagnostic and treatment of functional body disorders this review presents a plausible method for successful consolidation of the reductionism and holism concepts present at the core of modern and traditional medicine. Reconstruction of modern physiological knowledge and understanding of changes in cardiovascular function was used to provide explanations for symptoms associated with the concept of Byeon-Jeung in Korean Medicine. The symptoms correlated with the Byeon-Jeung for Liver Qi Stagnation, Spleen Qi Deficiency, and Stomach Yin Deficiency were shown to be linked to decreases in blood flow and the corresponding functional disorders associated with such. These results demonstrate how modern physiological understanding of the body can serve as an appropriate stepping stone to assist in the integration of Conventional and Holisitic medicine.

  • Byeon Jeung[辨證], which is to differentiate symptoms is a process of assessing the patient's condition. And like any other differentiation system, a ceratin pathological perspective is embedded. In Onbyeonghak(溫病學), new Byeon Jeung systems were designed to complement the insufficient, existing perspectives on acute epidemic febrile diseases. Oguktong(吳鞠通)'s Samchobyeonjeung(三焦辨證) is one of these newly designed systems. Though the meaning of Samchobyeonjeung varies among Onbyeong(溫病) researchers, they stand on common grounds of differentiating damp-heat disease[濕熱病]. However, Oguktong(吳鞠通) clearly demonstrated this system on epidemic febrile diseases. Researchers have acknowledged the importance of Oguktong(吳鞠通)'s approach, but thorough analysis of the subject has been insufficient. In this study, I have primarily studied the meaning of Samchobyeonjeung by analyzing "Onbyeongjobyeon(溫病條辨)", followed by assessment of negative and positive aspects.
