Methods This study Was researched as bibliographically with Dong-Mu's writings such as ${\ulcorner}$Dongyi Soose Bowon${\lrcorner}$ written in 1894('GaboBon'), ${\ulcorner}$Dongyi Soose Bowon${\lrcorner}$ published in 1901('Sinch ukBon') 3. Results and Conclusions I) The conception of Soewnin Hwangdal(jaundice, 황달(黃疸)) is a syndrome of indigestion, which needs releasing excessive through the method of decending the interior yin. 2) In the course of Taeum syndrome(태음병(太陰炳)), Soeuwnin Hangdal(jaundice황달(黃疸)) locate beetwen Miman (bloating, 비만(?滿)) and Bujong(edema, 부종(浮腫)) on the point of view of Healthy Energy. 3)In ?SinchukBon? , Soewnin interior disease is divided two syndromes.

Recent survey shows that chronic liver disease such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatoma is the third leading causes for death in Korea. In oriental medicine, viral hepatitis is related to Hwangdal(黃疸) and alcoholic liver disease is related to Joosang(酒傷). ARTEMISIAE HERBA and PUERARIAE RADIX have long been used in treating those symptoms. This study was done to evaluate the effect of AR1EMISIAE HERBA and PUERARIAE RADIX on viral and alcoholic hepatitis. ARTEMISIAE HERBA and PUERARIAE RADIX were decocted respectively with water and followed by vaccum evaporation. The solution was diluted to adequate concentration. Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this experiment. Each group was given PUERARIAE RADIX or ARTEMISIAE HERBA solution orally and CCl4, d-galactosamine or alcohol was given orally 30 minutes later. After 24 hours of starvation, blood samples were taken to check serum GOT, GPT, LDH and ALP activities, TC, TG, glucose and BUN levels. These results show that ARTEMISIAE HERBA has better effect on liver injury induced by d-Galactosamine than PUERARIAE RADIX and that both ARTEMISIAE HERBA and PUERARlAE RADIX have good effect on acute alcoholic liver disease while in the liver injury induced by $CCl_{4}$, PUERARIAE RADIX has better inhibitory effect on serum AST, ALT and ALP levels and ARTEMISIAE HERBA has better inhibitory effect on serum total cholesterol and triglyceride. And the result that high concentration group has better effect shows these effects are concentration-dependent. Further study on the mechanism of these herbs is still required.
