Questions for diagnosis of of Sasang constitution Medicine Type.
Sasang Constitution Type Medicine is a Korean creative constitutional medicine, established by Je-Ma Lee, the prestigious medical specialist in the latter Yi(Chosun) dynasty. It distinguished body types of mankind into four different categories based on the philosophy of Confucianism, which was absolutely different from the previous oriental medicine based on Yin and Yang.
In Sasang Constitution Type Medicine, people have diverse appearances, personalities and biological & clinical characteristics, which govern what type of medical treatment has to be applied to each person. And as an original Korean clinic, it has an object of making people live in a harmonized way by understanding one’s own constitution type, enlarging the advantage of it, and supplementing its insufficiency. It also aims to make people have appropriate mindset and healthy social relationship, and also adapt proper lifestyle and foods which are matched with their own constitution types. And this will eventually lead them to prevention of possible diseases.
Taeyangin (The Great Yang person )
People of this type likes being aggressive, heroic and demagogic. Its body type has a strongly developed head and a neck with a relatively weak waistline which hinders the person from standing or walking for a long time. In terms of the face shape, it has luster in the eyes to overwhelm others and the overall face looks big and strong.
Soyangin (The Lesser Yang person )
People of this type are broad-minded, shrewd and artistic. Its body type has big and wide che
sts and shoulders with relatively small hips, which make one’s overall shape as an inverted triangle. It tends to have a wea
k waist, and while walking, one looks moving very fast but the upper body is swaying with no stability. Regarding the face shape, it is also an inverted-triangle-look with a wide or projected forehead, pointed jaws, sharp eyes and thin lips.
Taeeumin (The Greater Yin person)
People of Teeumin are patient and have good appetites. The body is humid and unstably circulated with a thick waistline and a thin neck, but its overall body looks grand, and there are many obese people with heavy bones in this type. Taeeumin has a round face in general, and its facial line is distinct with big and vivid features, such as big eyes, thick lips, rough skins and big pores.
Soeumin (The Lesser Yin person )
This type is very attentive, accurate and polite. Its body is cold with big hips and narrow and weak chests. The body shape is generally small and skinny, but there are some tall people, too.

<Health Cares by Sasang Constitutional Types>
Questions for diagnosis of Sasang constitution Medicine Type.
Taeyangin
This type is likely to be skinny and hard to get weight due to its weak function of absorbing and digesting foods, caused by spending too much energy while pulling up its vigor to the upper body. However, there can be some cases to get weight, made by improper circulation of the body by pulling up too much vigor upwards or giving vent to one’s anger. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to soothe mind, avoid foods of high calories and try to have plain foods. The type also needs to strengthen its lower body for a physical balance.
Soyangin
When comparing with its enough diet, this type seems to be a bit skinny. It has strong digestion ability but its kidneys are weak and don’t do proper water evacuation and urination. The type has a high fever in the upper body and weak function in the lower body. Therefore, it is important to lower temperature and vigor in the head and chest, and to supplement Yin on the lower body to make a smooth evacuation. It is also strongly recommended to soothe one’s temper all the time. And as a good work out, strain the abdomen and slowly proceed the lower body exercises. Abdominal Breathing and Meditation are also recommendable.
Taeeumin
This typed person is relaxed always and has good appetites, so easily becoming obese. He or she is also greed and tends to overeat, hence, without sufficient physical exercises, one can get geriatric diseases and obesity in turn. The circulation of vigor of the Taeeumin is also not working well, so eating clean and plain foods, and avoiding overeating and high-protein & low-calorie foods are recommended. Exercises, such as climbing, jogging, walking, dancing, aerobic, and everything which can be done slowly and gradually, will burn out fats of the body. It also helps one have a healthier life through sweating by taking a bath and working out.
Soeumin
Having weak digestion, the type does not gain weight easily. Eating oily or cold foods will be harmful for the typed person’s digestion. People in this type also cannot eat a lot and is poor at enduring coldness. Therefore, it is important to make the body warm all the time and to eat warm foods for better digestion. It is also necessary to prevent from sweating because this typed person lacks blood. Especially, this type has a weaker physical strength than other three constitutional types, hence, needs to balance its exercise amount, keeping one’s own limitation carefully. If the person works out over his limit, the one may reach to total exhaustion.
