Description
Dongui bogam (Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine), Korea’s oldest medical book, was compiled by Heo Jun (1539-1615), a royal physician of the Joseon Dynasty, based on medical works and clinical observations and experiences collected from Korea and China. The book was completed in 1610 (the 2nd year of the reign of King Gwanghaegun) and published in 1613 (the 5th year of the reign of King Gwanghaegun). Now considered a must-read compendium of information on oriental medicine, there are thirty-six editions of Dongui bogam in and outside Korea, of which three editions have been designated as Treasures.
