Each patient is assessed against their own constitutional baseline — not a universal standard. Sasang and Eight Constitution Medicine determine the treatment strategy, not the disease label.
Health is a dynamic relationship between the individual and their environment. Pain, sleep, digestion, and stress are expressions of one relational pattern — not separate complaints requiring separate specialists.
Physiological states are not fixed. Diagnosis is an ongoing interpretive process, not a permanent label. Treatment adapts as the patient's pattern evolves over the course of care.
