All of the Answers Can Be Found In Constitutional Medicine
   People are not created equally. Everyone’s organs differ in size as well as function. For example, some people might be sensitive to medicine because they have a weak liver. Some people have difficulty in digestion, and will develop food poisoning, while others will not. Some people have difficulty losing weight, while others have difficulty gaining weight.
    All of these examples are a direct result of an individual’s organ status—or, constitution. Constitution is determined by your organ size and that organ’s function. Constitution inherited from parents can never change. If we recognize our constitution and follow a proper course of diet and lifestyle based on that constitution, we could be free from many diseases through out our entire life.

History of Constitutional Medicine
      Constitutional Medicine originated from traditional Chinese medicine theory. In 1800 Dr. Lee Jema developed the ‘SaSang’ theory, and in 1962, Dr. Kwon Dowon established the 8 Types of Constitution. It opened a new chapter in the field of traditional medicine.I, personally, believe that constitutional medicine will be a major part of integrative medicine.
    When a strong organ becomes too powerful it takes charge of the other organs making the weaker organs even weaker. Thus, the harmony of the body is broken and weakened organs become susceptible to the attack of disease.
    The reason each person has different reactions to different kinds of foods and/or medications is due to their body type. Not all foods and medicines are good for every ‘body’. Some work well for some people, while others may not work as well, and can even become harmful.
Similar diseases or symptoms may have totally different causes according to one’s body type. Each body type requires a specific approach, diagnosis and treatment.

Which Body Type Am I, Then?
    The correct diagnosis of constitution through examination and client feedback is critical. Even a specialist can make a mistake.
   After the proper diagnosis is given, and you adjust your diet and lifestyle as instructed, you will feel the difference in your body and mind. It will be the beginning of a healthier and happier ‘You’.
