@algancao – On Korean vs. Chinese Medicine

@Baridegi Koreans no like “Chinese med” as a term, so they proposed “Oriental Med.” which has stuck, many orgs rep OM instead of CM. Tue Jun 23 16:27:30

@Baridegi Kr. Med shares much with CM. 4 constitutions in Kr = 5 phases, 6 channels, 4 levels used in China.

@Baridegi Koreans whom I’ve seen practicing use 4 constitutions, but also other styles eg. 5 phases. We all use yin/yang, etc.

@Baridegi You can push and shove 4 const into greek methods, but bruises ensue. We all try to do that, but with only varying success.

@Baridegi Not as much difference between the two, but clearly some regional traditions.
