Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Sasang Constitutional Medicine is a unique system of traditional Korean medicine that emphasizes individualized healthcare based on a person’s innate constitutional type. Developed in the late 19th century, this system classifies individuals into four constitutional types—Taeyang, Taeum, Soyang, and Soeum—each with distinct physiological, psychological, and metabolic characteristics. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the philosophy, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic applications of Sasang Constitutional Medicine.

The session will cover constitutional assessment, personalized herbal prescriptions, dietary recommendations, lifestyle management, and preventive strategies tailored to each constitution. Discussions will also highlight scientific research, clinical evidence, and the integration of Sasang medicine into modern personalized and integrative healthcare models. This session aims to promote a deeper understanding of constitution-based medicine and its potential role in advancing individualized, holistic, and preventive healthcare worldwide.
