Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical implication of Eight Principle Pattern Identification, EPPI in Sasang Typology. Although EPPI is considered as the most basic differential diagnosis in Oriental Medical Science, it has not been used actively enough in clinical practice owing to the presumption that EPPI is not sufficient for the analysis of complex clinical symptoms. In Zhang Jiebin's Jingyuequanshu, he separates Yin-Yang with Six-identification in EPPI when explaining them. This implies that it is difficult to talk about each of EPPI in same perspective. Thus, for the active clinical usage of EPPI it is necessary to study in hierarchical perspective. Lee Je-ma's Sasang typology could be a good example that uses the hierarchical perspective of EPPI. In the book Dongeuisoosebowon Lee Je-ma talks about differentiating Yin with Yang by constitution, Exterior with Interior and Cold with Heat accordingly, to apply in prescriptions. After differentiation, Yin and Yang are placed in higher level from the rest of EPPI, thus Yin and Yang can influence the rest of EPPI. This study showed the importance of EPPI in understanding the differential diagnosis system of Sasang typology in clinical perspectives.
