DAY 48
Dongui Bogam
東醫寶鑑
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Am I listening to the sounds of my body and calming my mind first to maintain my well-being?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading a medical text as a work of liberal learning may seem unfamiliar, but the moment you turn the first page of the Dongui Bogam, that prejudice falls away. Before treating illness, Heo Jun emphasizes the cultivation of the mind. He links the human body to the principles of nature, looking past surface symptoms to the attitudes of living that lie at their root. This profound insight—that body and mind are never separate—offers comfort to our weary daily lives.
