📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What am I nurturing today for the harmony of my body and mind?

📝ONGO's Reflection

I first came to read this medical text as a guide to living because of one line: "Before you treat illness, first master the mind." Heo Jun saw the human body not as a mere mechanical assembly, but as a small universe containing the principles of nature and the cosmos. His insight—seeking the cause of disease not outside but in inner imbalance—makes me look back painfully at how I drive my own body into the ground with stress and overwork. It is a classic that teaches us true health comes not from medicine but from how we live.

"When the mind is disturbed, illness arises; when the mind is at peace, illness heals itself."
Heo Jun, Donguibogam
"마음이 어지러우면 병이 생기고, 마음이 안정되면 병이 스스로 낫는다."
