This research was designed and implemented to evaluate how the composition of yaksuncha can affect the health of individuals suffering from diet-related diseases such as obesity and hyperlipidemia by prescribing Yaksun as a nutritional supplement with daily meals. The yaksunucha was prepared as Koekac, Sansa, Heshouwu and Woolong tea and the tea's effects on serum lipids and oxidative stress were evaluated by clinical procedures. The yaksuncha significantly increased HDL-cholesterol and decrease of LDL-cholesterol concentrations in serum. It also had significant effects on decreasing oxidative stress and homocystein levels. The physical characteristics of the yaksunucha were also examined, showing. Brix, pH and titratable acidity values of 1.4, 5.50 and 0.05% respectively. It is thought that scientific and objective evaluations were completed on the components of the yaksuncha prescription. Thus one can concluded that the components could be applied not only in the form of tea, but also various food. The data derived from this study provides basic information that will aid in the application of oriental medicinal resources to other foods as well as facilitate the study of medicinal herbs within the field of functional food research, which already draws sizable attention worldwide.

We are concerned about how to apply the theories of oriental medicine appropriately, which direction should it be taken, and how it should be developed. And it is believed to be essential for the government to make efforts to set a standard and laws to validate the medicinal effects and process of the assessment so that the systematic development can be encouraged, and to prepare guidance for the food development for national health improvement Ihis study was peformed to provide basic data that predict the usefulness of oriental medicinal herbs to remove the dampness through diuresis for excess syndrome obesity with oriental diet therapy cuisine(Yak-Sun). Five oriental medicininal herbs, Coix lachryma-jobi L, Atractylodes lancea DC., Ligusticum wallichii F., Angelica sinensis D., Zingiber officinale R. were collected and made into mixing extracts(OMCE). And we examined the effects of OMCE on body weight serum glucose, insulin and lipid profile improvement in rats fed high fat diets. Sprague-Dawley rae(230-250 g) were randomly divided into five groups : basal diet(normal diet control group, NCG), only high fat diet(High fat control group, HCG), high fat diet and supplemented with 25mg/100g body weight 50mg/100g body weight 75mg/100g body weight by OMCE(HLG, HMG, HHG). These experimental diets were fed for 6 weeks. The OME fed groups decreased more significantly in weight serum glucose insulin and lipids than the high fat control group did. These results imply that the OMCE can be used as a safe and clinically applicable ingredients for diet called Yaksun of excess syndrome obesity in human.

1300년대부터 1600년대까지 발간된 10권의 의서 및 식이요법서 문헌에서 조를 이용한 식치방을 조사한 결과 기록 횟수는 총 63회이다. 향약집성방(鄕藥集成方)의 식치 기록은 총 21회로 조사한 문헌 중 횟수가 가장 많았고, 식료찬요(食療纂要)는 두 번째로 식치방 기록은 총 16회이다. 식치의 조리방법별 분류에는 죽(粥) 조리방법이 가장 많았고 탕(湯) 조리방법, 밥(飯) 조리방법, 즙(汁) 조리방법, 환(丸) 조리방법 순으로 기록되었다. 죽과 탕의 조리법이 많은 것은 소화기에 주는 부담이 적고 흡수가 용이하기 때문으로 사료된다. 조와 같이 사용된 식재료는 총백(蔥白), 생강, 계란, 해백, 술, 참새, 수탉간, 시, 붕어, 붉은 팥, 흰 수탉 등이고, 조와 같이 사용된 약재는 인삼(人蔘), 복령(茯笭), 당귀(當歸), 대추(大棗), 맥문동(麥門冬), 백출(白朮), 육계(肉桂), 토사자(免絲子) 등이다. 특히 한국 전통음료로 조를 발효시킨 장수(漿水)를 약 전처리나 법제에 사용하고 약재와 같이 복용하였다. 조를 이용한 식치방의 증상별 분류를 보면 비위(脾胃) 반위(反胃)에 12회, 대소변난(大小便難)에 11회, 곽란에 6회, 허증(虛症) 보익(補益)에 6회 기록되었다. 비위(脾胃) 반위(反胃), 대소변난(大小便難), 곽란, 허증(虛症) 보익(補益) 등의 식치방에 여러 번 기록된 것은 약재가 귀했던 시기에 식치(食治)로 비위(脾胃)를 보(補)하고 대소변(大小便)을 좋게 하여 건강 증진과 질병 예방에 중점을 두었을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 소갈(消渴), 중풍(中風), 산후제질(産後諸疾), 소아제병(小兒諸炳), 기침 해수(咳嗽) 등 증상 치료에도 기록되어 조 식치방은 남녀노소에게 두루 사용되었음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 우리민족의 경험의학이 바탕이 되는 조 식치방을 활용한다면 현대인들에게 좋은 약선 메뉴를 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
