New Paradigms for Shang Han Lun - Integrating Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Japanese Kampo Medicine

New paradigms for Shang Han Lun
Integrating Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Japanese Kampo Medicine
Here are two outstanding clinical methodologies for the prescription of traditional Asian herbal medicine that have been practiced in China, Korea, and Japan but not fully adopted in traditional Asian medical education in the US.
These two can be indicators in prescribing formulas based on Shang Han Lun, one from the individual constitutional perspective of Dr. Lee Jema and the other from the single herbal functional perspective of Dr. Todo Yoshimas. The author believes these are crucial clues to putting all the pieces of the vast information together in Asian herbal formula practice, yet need to be further studied and proved in clinical settings.
Her clinical case studies are also added after the introduction of Dr. Lee and Dr. Todo’s studies. These clinical cases will provide herbal practitioners with stepping stones on the journey to mastering Asian Medicine.
