Objectives Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) is uniquely established in the field of Korean Medicine. Taegeuk Acupuncture(TGA) and Eight Constitution Acupuncture(ECA) which are created upon SCM are applied in clinics. However, there exists no established theory but hypothesis with regard to the composition of acupoints of constitution acupuncture. The purpose of this study was to help establish the Sasang constitution acupuncture(SCA) method. Methods Thirties studies were found on various Oriental medicine journals and 17 literatures with the key words relevant to constitution and acupuncture. Results For the principle of acupoint selection, 12 studies were included which were classified into TGA, ECA, SCA, other constitution acupuncture. Among 17 literatures, most of them were relevant to SCA. For the clinical studies, eight of total 13 using ECA were for musculoskeletal diseases. Conclusions Among studies and literatures chosen, the application of Saam's acupuncture method was most frequently found in SCA method. For establishing the SCA method, the two main concepts need to be considered, which are the consideration of four areas namely Lungs, Spleen, Liver and Kidneys and upward-downward-loosening-tightening movement of the Qi according to Sasang constitution type.

이제마선생에 의해 제창된 사상체질론은 지난 백년간 후세 사상연구가들에 의하여 발전되어 왔다. 그 중 하나가 바로 권도원 선생에 의해 제창된 체질침(體質針)의 출현이었던 것이다. 체질침범에서는 종래의 방법과는 다른 새로운 맥법(脈法)과 맥도(脈圖) 그리고 체질에 따른 체질침방(體質針方)이 운용되고 있다. 이 체질침방의 경우 실제로는 장부경락(臟腑經絡)의 오행혈을 운용한 사암(舍岩)선생의 오행침을 체질침화(體質針化)한 것이다. 이제마 선생의 체질이론과 사암선생의 오행침이 결합된 것은 실로 역사적인 일이라 하지 않을 수 없다. 권도원 선생은 여덟 개의 맥도와 함께 8체질론을 내세웠으며 스물네개의 사암선생 침방 중 여덟 개를 체질침화하여 이 여덟 체질의 기본 치료처방으로 사용하였다. 본 논문의 저자인 염태환은 지남 1986년 미국 라스베가스에서 열린 동양의학 학술대회에서 이미 24체질론과 24체질 맥도를 제시한 바 있다. 본 논문은 우선 체질의학의 발달에 대한 역사를 간단히 정리하였다. 4체질론에서 시작하여 24체질론까지의 발전되어 온 단계 단계가 여기에 설명되어 있다. 이 설명 속에서 십이경락이 어떻게 사상의학과 이론적으로 결부되는가를 이해하게 되면, 24체질론의 출현이 쉽게 받아들여질 것이다. 본 논문은 이 24체질 중 특히 소음인에 속하는 네 체질에 대하여 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 이 네 개의 체질에 대한 체질맥진법, 맥도, 침법 그리고 한약처방 등이 이 논문에 다루어지고 있는 것이다. 그리고 이 논문의 뒷부분에는 이 네 체질에 대한 저자들의 임상 실례들이 실려 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 새로운 학설을 임상실례와 더불어 소개함으로써, 더욱 많은 한의사들이 관심을 가지고 체질침을 임상에 응용하게 하며 또한 앞으로 치료효과를 객관적으로 밝히기 위한 이중맹검시험(Double blind controlled study) 등이 시행될 수 있는 토대를 마련하고자 하는 것이다.

Objectives : Sa-am Acupucture(舍岩鍼法), Taeguk Acupucture(太極鍼法), and 8 Constitution-Acupuncture(八體質鍼法) are largely used acupuncture therapies which utilize Yin and Yang, The Five Elements, Interpromoting and Counteracting Relation(相生 相克 關係). We are here to compare and study each acupuncture methods in order to understand their fundamental principle and theory. Conclusion : 1. When prescribing Herb to patients, we can use the Differentiation of Syndromes method(辨證論治). As there is Constitutional Medicine prescription(四象醫學處方) using constitutional Large & Small Relation of Jang and Bu organs(臟腑大小 關係), in acupuncture treatment we can use the Differentiation of Syndromes method of Sa-am acupucture, applying constitutional Large & Small feature of Jang and Bu organs(臟腑大小) in Taeguk Acupucture and 8 Constitution Acupuncture we can derive a suitable prescriptions. 2. Taeguk Acupucture and 8 Constitution Acupuncture is an acupunture method created upon the constitutional theory. Taeguk Acupucture lacks a theory and has problems with its practical use. 8 Constitution-Acupuncture has a theory, thus it can give us the chance to make derived diverse prescriptions for each diseases. 3. Sa-am Acupucture uses exclusively Manual technique(手技法), breathing Posa method(呼吸補瀉法), YoungSu Posa method(迎隨補瀉法) and also retaining method(留鍼法). Taeguk Acupunctune is directed related with WonBang Posa method(圓方補瀉法), twirling method(撚鍼法) and uses retaining method. 8 Constitution-Acupuncture works only with YoungSu Posa method and also One-insertion method(單刺法). 4. If we apply The Five Elements of five Su points and Interpromoting and Counteracting Relation(相生 相克 關係), we can control discords between Jang and Bu organs. Sa-am Acupucture, Taeguk Acupture and 8 Constitution Acupuncture which use five Su points can make better results in Jang and Bu organs disease. 5. Sa-am Acupunture needs diverse applications of Organ picture theory(臟象論), Pathogenesis theory(病機學說) and an proper prescription studies by Differentiation of Syndromes(辨證). Taeguk Acupuncture and 8 Constitution Acupuncture has a organized prescription methods by constitutional Large & Small relation of Jang and Bu organs(臟腑大小), thus we need to focus on objectification in constitutional differentiation.
