ABSTRACT

Yoshimasu Todo[吉益東洞]’s medical theory extracted from Yakjing(藥徵)Ⅱ - Yoshimasu Todo’s thoughts of medicines - Dept. of Oriental Medical Classics, college of Oriental Medicine, Kyung-Hee University. Lee Jeong-Hwan・Jeong Chang-Hyun・Baik You-Sang This study is on Yoshimasu Todo’s thoughts of medicines. Conclusions are as below. Medicines are poisons. Therefore, they don't have the ability to restore the vital energy. Medicine-processing(法製) can only be done for doubling the toxicity, since the poison itself is the very effect of a medicine. One poison has an ability to treat only one main symptom. If the poison strikes the main symptom right, it doesn't harm the human body. Since warm-heat-cool-cold(溫熱凉寒) of a medicine can't be known by human ability, it can't be used as the standard of judgment when selecting a medicine.
