Abstract
Objectives : This study was undertaken in order to establish the composite principles of formulas through the comparison of Saam acupuncture and Eight Constitution acupuncture theories. Methods : We compared the structural patterns of formulas between Saam and Eight Constitution acupuncture theories, and applied 'Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si(旺相休囚死)' to the analysis of formulas of these theories. Results : 1. There were similarities between Saam and Eight Constitution acupuncture theories in the comparisons of structural patterns of acupuncture formulas and tonifying liver formulas. 2. 'Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si' is applied to the constitutional strong and weak relationships of zang-fu organs in these theories. 3. In the cases of tonifying, it is possible to reinforce the family group and reduce the enemy group organs in the Eight Constitution acupuncture theory. In cases of purging, it is possible to reduce the family group and reinforce the enemy group organs. Conclusions : It is possible to establish the composite principles of formulas by the application of 'Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si' in Saam acupuncture and Eight Constitution acupuncture theories.
