Dr. Jema Lee (1836 - 1900)
History
Constitution medicine is a medicine established by the Korean medical doctor Jema Lee at the end of the 19th century. As a person is born, the shape, function, personality and illness of a person are different due to the disharmony of the two organs.
There are five major organs in the body, such as Heart, Lung, Liver, Pancreas, Kidney.
Because the heart is constantly functioning like a constant, it is not counted to body types.
It causes illness with an imbalance of the other four organs. Especially the lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys.
