According to Prof. Bonglee Kim, the most important thing about Korean medicine is that it emphasizes the nature of the human body that produces disease rather than the disease itself. Thus, Korean medicine focuses on the pathophysiology of each individual. The main forms of therapy in Korean medicine include acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal therapy, chuna, cupping, and SCM (Sasang Constitutional Medicine). Traditional medicine is more desirable and trusted by the public than modern medicine. This is not only the case in Indonesia but also in Korea. This condition is his reference that the prospect of Traditional Korean Medicine is quite large, so it needs to be continuously developed with various techniques and technologies.
