<i><b>Emi Sampaku's </b></i><b>Remedy and Theory of Medicine :From a Viewpoint of the Philosophy of M</b><b>edicine</b> / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

<p><i>Emi Sampaku </i>(1707-1781) is one of the great <i>Koiho </i>(old medical school) practitioners along with <i>Yoshimasu Todo who </i>is from the same province as <i>Sampaku</i>.In general, he was depicted as an “intensive medicine dozer” ; however it doesn't seem to be his factual depiction.<br>This kind of misapprehension is caused by a scarcity in exploration on him, especially his philosophy of medicine, nevertheless being such a great master in that field. Now in this paper I would look over the quintessence of his remedy and the theory of medicine to clarify his philosophy of medicine through investigations on his volumes such as <i>Emikun Ijidan, Emineiko Sensei Igen, Emi Sensei Iho Ryakusetsu, Toho Shiron. </i><br>As a result of my survey, it has been clarified that <i>Sampaku </i>took his way of remedy on accordance with the curate diagnoses which were brought about through his <i>Shinshi</i>-<i>jikken </i>“Experience and Verification”. Put it in another way, <i>Sampaku </i>took intensive medicine for vomiting/purgative remedy merely under the necessity. He is one of “a man of discerning eyes”.</p>
