ABSTRACT

Objectives : This study aims to analyze the terms describing anti-aging effects in Dongeuibogam,and to propose the methodology for selecting medicinal herbs related to anti-agingeffects. Methods : We considered aging or anti-aging theories by reviewing the major literature in koreanmedicine or traditional chinese medicine, and then we deduced the concepts describinganti-aging effects and the medicinal herbs for anti-aging effects. We investigated themedicinal herbs based on the terms describing anti-aging effects in Dongeuibogam anddrew the methodology for selecting and classifying the medicinal herbs related toanti-aging. Results & Conclusions : The following conclusions could be drawn. 1. A set of causes and signs of aging in Dongeuibogam and a set of therapies foralleviating the aging signs in Chengumikbang, Yanglobongchinseo, and Nolohangeon wasfound. 2. Anti-aging effects should not be confused with disease treatments. Therefore, wedefined the medical terms of anti-aging effects as "the terms expressing the effect ofdelaying or alleviating the subjective or objective signs of aging concretely". Based uponthe terms of anti-aging effects, we defined the medicinal herbs for anti-aging effects as"the medicinal herbs whose effects are described in medical terms expressing the effectsof delaying or alleviating the subjective or objective signs of aging concretely". 3. We considered Lycii Fructus, Asparagi Tuber in Dongeuibogam as examples of medicinalherbs whose effects are described in medical terms expressing anti-aging effects. Itshows that we can select medicinal herbs for anti-aging effects by comparing the effectsof 937 single therapies in Dongeuibogam to the terms describing anti-aging effectsdefined in this study. Futhermore, the results could be utilized as the basic materials ofexperimental study on anti-aging.
