In
the previous chapter we learned the unique organ theory of Lee
Jema and also that the constitution is decided from birth by the
relative size and strength of the organs. This
constitution has a completely different meaning from the
generally used constitution, for example, strong, weak, unique
or allergenic constitution, and can be summed up thusly: A
person is born with an unchanging unique organ structure which
has influence on his body's form and his appearance,
temperament, physiology, and pathology.
Now,
let's learn the characteristics of body form, appearance,
character, temperament, physiology and pathology for each of the
four constitutions based on Lee Jema's Dongyi Soose Bowon.

them. If there is a problem, he doesn't bury it deeply, but
prefers to dispel it on the spot.
* If he trusts someone, he easily discloses even deep secrets of
the heart.
* He is impatient and impulsive, and so isn't good at
hobbies that require sitting quietly for a long time, such as
fishing or go (or chess), and since he is not greedy, he is not
much interested in gambling or entertainment.
* Occasionally he is too frank and unpretentious, and so
appears frivolous.
*He often looks undignified and naïve like a child.
* Because he is overly frank, he occasionally deeply offends
people with imprudent and crude words, which he regrets as soon
as he realizes their effect.

becomes discouraged and deeply regretful, and is struck with
sorrow, which damages his health.

working for others without regret.
* Fidelity among people is very important to him. For
fidelity he transcends profit and loss, and will not betray.

becoming friends, he shows a surprisingly sentimental, warm,
gentle and romantic side.

scandal and ruin himself and his family.
* If he cultivates his personality, he can become a most
just person; otherwise he can become a most ignoble person.
Physiology
and Pathology of Soyangin
* Soyangin has from birth a large pancreas and stomach;
therefore he with great appetite eats well and can digest any
food.
* Due to impatience he tends to eat too quickly and too
much. This eating habit, if not bridled, will damage his
stomach.
* He has much heat in his stomach and even in winter feels
refreshed from drinking cold water. No matter how cold it is, he
naturally seeks cold water because in his breast is much warmth.
* Because there is a lot of heat in his body, foods such as
ginseng and honey can damage his health.
* Due to stomach heat his lips, gums or tongue can easily
become inflamed or blistered.
* Due to small kidneys, a woman is likely not to be fertile
and a man, even though lascivious, often lacks energy.
* Due to weak functioning of the urinary and sex organs,
kidney inflammation, bladder inflammation, sterility, lack of
energy, etc. can easily occur.
* His waiste and legs are weak and he is not fond of long walks.
Often something bad happens to his spine or hip joints and he
cries of lower back pain. His bones are weak and tend
toward osteoporosis, and his back is bent when he is old.
* His kidneys are small, so he often feels pain in his
lower back or legs.
* Because her kidneys and sex organs are weak, a woman has
heavy menstrual pain and an early menopause. She is prone to
inflammation or cancer of the uterus.
* Because there is so much warmth in his body, he is easily
bothered by summer heat. When he eats foods not suitable for his
constitution, he gets hives or eruptions on his skin.
* He is quick to become ill, but also quick to heal.
* He must have regular daily bowel movements to remain
healthy. If he goes several days without a bowel movement, he
