Principles of Lee Je-ma’s Sasang Medicine & 8-Constitution Theory

Established by scholar Lee Je-ma in Donguisusebowon (1894), Sasang Constitutional Medicine classifies human physiology into four core types—Tae-Yang, So-Yang, Tae-Eum, and So-Eum—based on the congenital strength asymmetry of the Lungs, Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys. Later expanded by Dr. Kuon Dowon into 8 Constitutions, it provides a precision blueprint for diet, exercise, and stress management.

💌 Madi’s Constitutional Wellness Note:

“A superfood or workout routine praised by others can trigger chronic fatigue if it clashes with your constitution. Restraining your overactive organ and gently warming your weakest organ is the timeless secret of constitutional balance.”
