吳瑭의 傷寒論處方 活用法 考察(2)

A study on the application of Sanghanron prescription by Odang

In this study, we investigated how prescriptions from 『Sanghallon(傷寒論)』, such as Oryeongsan(五苓散), Banhasasimtang(半夏瀉心湯), Dohaekseunggitang(桃核承氣湯), Jukyeopseokgotang(竹葉石膏湯), were applicated in Onbyeongjobyeon(溫病條辨). When applying prescriptions from 『Sanghallon』 onto Onbyeong(溫病), Odang(吳瑭) had replaced warm, dry herbs with cool herbs which generate body fluid, considering general characteristics of onbyeong that may easily dry up and injure body fluid. In the case of Seuponbyeong(濕溫病), however, warm, dry herbs were also used, as well. Odang(吳瑭) did not persist in the general characteristic of onbyeong, but composed prescriptions only based on pathological condition. From this, one can point out his precise thinking of Byeonjeung(辯證), and pragmatic nature of his study.
