Eight Constitutional Medicine

    We are an Acupuncture clinic specializing in Korean 8 Constitution Medicine (ECM) Treatment. Holly is a  member of the Eight Constitution Medicine Association.

   The ECM system focuses on tailoring medical treatments, dietary choices, and lifestyle recommendations based on an individual's unique body constitution

  The ECM is developed by Dr. Kwon Dowon in the 1960s. It classifies people into eight body types based on their innate physiological and metabolic characteristics. This system aims to personalize medical treatments, diets, and lifestyle recommendations according to an individual's constitution.

 

Key Principles
• Each constitution has strong and weak organs, which influence a person’s health strengths and weaknesses.
• Certain foods, exercises, and treatments are believed to benefit or harm each type.
 

Application
• Holly use this system to diagnose and treat conditions by identifying the patient’s constitution through pulse diagnosis, observation, and sometimes lifestyle assessment.
• The focus is on prevention and personalized healthcare.

  The eight types are grouped based on the dominance of specific organs and energy balances:
