ABSTRACT

Objective The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of Splenic Constipation(脾約) in 'Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)'. Methods We investigated the provisions associated with splenic constipation written in 'Donguisusebowon', 'Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)', 'Shanghanlun(傷寒論)' and several papers which related to splenic constipation. Results and Conclusions 1. Splenic constipation in 'Donguisusebowon' falls into the category of Soeumin Yang Depletion Symptomatology(少陰人 亡陽病). The symptoms of splenic constipation include sweating and smooth urination. 2. Splenic constipation in 'Donguisusebowon', 'Shanghanlun', 'Donguibogam' is based on fluid deficiency, but splenic constipation in 'Donguisusebowon' is focused on sweating unlike 'Shanghanlun' and sweating was quoted in 'Donguibogam'. 3. Splenic constipation in 'Shanghanlun' and 'Donguibogam' is focused primarily on constipation. The difference is that splenic constipation in 'Donguibogam' relates to sweating. 4. Therefore, even if they use the same term, we need to understand that the meaning of splenic constipation in 'Donguisusebowon' is different from that of 'Shanghanlun' and 'Donguibogam'.
