| The term ¡°oriental
medicine¡± generally indicates Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to |
| most
people. |
|
All Korean university
oriental
medicine departments teach TCM, and their graduates
|
typically use TCM as the
primary method of treatment.
|
|
|
| In fact, TCM completely dominates
the world market of oriental medicine and is |
|
estimated to be worth one billion
dollars. |
|
|
|
So what is Korean Medicine? |
|
Actually, there is
currently no specific designation of 'Korean medicine' within the field |
|
of
oriental medicine.
|
|
It appears that few people understand the
meaning of 'Korean Medicine' and many |
|
may wonder if such a thing as Korean
traditional medicine even exists in Korea. |
| |
|
The answer is ¡°yes¡±, of
course! |
| This website will introduce
you to this new and unfamiliar medical system.
|
| You will learn about
¡°Sasang Constitution Medicine¡± and the ¡°Saam Acupuncture Me-
|
| thod" which are
unique and indigenous medical theories created by Koreans several |
|
centuries
ago. |
|
|
|
These methods provide the
foundational theories and principles of Korean Traditional |
|
Medicine and are
completely different from TCM. |
|
Koreans are very proud of this
medicine not
because of its originality, but because of
its |
|
astonishing efficacy. |
|
|
|
The chief purpose of this
site, Puramo's Korean Medicine Institute, is to share this
|
|
unique and
wonderful medical theory to the world through lectures, seminars, and
|
|
publications. |
|
|
