The Essential Teachings of Sasang Medicine: An Annotated Translation of Lee Je-ma's Dongeui Susei Bowon

This book is the first of its kind in English. It is the translated and fully annotated foundation text of Sasang medicine, the Korean "traditional" medicine somewhat similar, but also strikingly different and original, to Chinese medicine, TCM. First and foremost this is a text book and though of interest to the general reader for its historical significance, requires application and a close reading to gain benefit of its erudition. Dr Wagman is an academic and practitioner ofSasang medicine and therefore writes from the position of knowledge. This is an important book in the field of Korean medicine and will allow many more health practitioners and interested lay people to gain access to this little known practice.

Merci à Gary Wagman pour nous offrir une traduction commentée de cette œuvre majeure de la médecine coréenne. Ce livre présente le texte original, puis traduit enfin abondamment annoté. Les formules seront intéressantes pour ceux qui ont étudié le Shang Han Lun. Par contre, je ne conseil pas ce livre à ceux n'ayant aucune notion des Sasang.
