Dong-Mu's philosophy is based on the postulation of "Sa Sim Sin Mul". The attempt to actualize the postulation is seen through the books "Kyuc chigo"and "Dongeuisusebowon". That is to say the physiology, pathology and pharmacology of Sasang based on Dong-Mu's philosoghy all belong to the category of Sa Sim sin Mul. But the interpretations of Sasang prescription have been made as "The recipe for symtoms", it is different from Dong-Mu's view. Appearing of disease can interpretate the strength and weakness o resistance based on the constitution. So, I tried to analogize properties of drugs showed in his writings on the assumption of resistance of the constitution.
