History of Four Constitutional Medicines

Dr. Jema Lee, an herbalist, acupuncturist in Korea, first established the system of four constitutional medicines in the early 1900’s. He divided the human system into 4 constitutions by observing different characteristics in his patients. Even if his patients came to him with the same symptoms, he would give them different combinations of herbs, based on his four fonstitutional medicines. This healing method brought Dr. Lee much success and fame.
