Your Yin Yang Body Type: The Korean Tradition of Sasang Medicine

Congratulations to Dr. Gary Wagman on his important book "Your Yin Tang Body Type". A teaching and explanation of Korea's "Sasang Constitutional Medicine". It was predicted of Sasang that it would spread to the world within 100 years after its founder, Dr. Lee, Ja Ma. It is a system of logic, categorizing people's body, mind, and pscyho- emotional states to four constitutions. Each with differences in strength or weakness across four primary organs. Each with specific food preferences. Dr. Wagman does an excellent job explaining the balances and inbalances each body type is susceptible too,as well best practices for attaining harmony and contentment within one's constitution. Sasang Constitutional Medicine has the potential to blow the mind of the west away. With important connotations in regards to the ever spinning carousal of what is hot and not in food and diet trends. Sasang Constitutional Medicine is one of the preeminent sciences to emerge from the Health and Medical Sciences of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Full disclosure. I am Dr. Evan Mahoney, author of "Saam Medical Meditation" e- book series on the Korean Acupuncture and Meditation techniques of Saam Acupuncture.

This is Dr Wagman's easy guide to the Sasang medicines theory of body types. Very succinctly written with many tables and easy to understand diagrams there is also a section of "case studies" so that the reader is able to appreciate the subtleties of this particular health model. There are so little information in English about the Korean practice of Sasang medicine that it is exemplary that the ones by Dr Wagman are so well resourced and compiled and very easy to read and understand. See also the main text book of Sasang approach by Dr Wagman "The Essential Teachings of Sasang Medicine: An Annotated Translation of Lee Je-ma's Dongeui Susei Bowon."

Just read the first couple of chapters, but I like the way it reads and how the information is presented.

A pleasant journey through our inner and naturally given strengths and weaknesses. After understanding our core body type, insights are provided that help us make decisions on how to live in harmony and how to make healthy choices

Very interesting supplemental knowledge to TCM

Interesting facts about different Yin/Yang body types. I found everything written about my body type was true and enlightening. I highly recommend this book.

This book is full of so much information but not overwhelming. The trick is to find your body type and follow it through.Amazing! Highly recommend it.

A very insightful and informative book about Yin Yang body types. Very useful for learning about the application of Sasang Medicine.

Jusqu'ici le meilleur livre d'initiation aux Sasang sur lequel j'ai mis les mains. Les quatre constitutions sont présentées sous différents aspects de manière claire et concise. Une bonne porte d'entrée avant la traduction du classique par le même auteur. Seul bémol : par soucis de vulgarisation les constituons sont notées Yang A/B et Yin A/B dans la quasi totalité du livre.

Excelente libro. Fácil lectura con tablas que resumen el contenido de los temas.
