The history of medicine in Korea
A General Outline
In the 10th century, Balhae was destroyed by Khitan, and Silla, which had been extremely corrupt, was unified into Goryeo after over 30 years of war with Hubaekje and Huguryu Goguryeo. Goryeo, which had to wage many invasion wars after unification, had great social demands on health care businesses in order to protect the lives and health of soldiers and people. Especially, the world's first metal type printing business developed in the 12th century, and the publication and dissemination of science literature books increased greatly, and medical books due to the development of navigation technology, as well. In addition, the diseases treatment awareness has improved greatly, and preventive measures for infectious diseases and more detailed classification have been taken.[1]
The Beginning of Goryeo Dynasty
From the business point, Goryeo put forward the buddhist meter and confucian-signing politics. In addition, the medical institution was reorganized and strengthened to physicians place in every military unit. It also showed a lot of interest in population growth to strengthen national power and expressed a keen interest in health care projects to improve the health of the ruling class. And they established Hyeminguk (혜민국,惠民局), Dongseodebiwon (동서대비원,東西大悲院) and Jewibo (제위보, 濟危寶) for the common people and engaged in charitable medical activities.[2]
The middle part of the Goryeo Dynasty
In this period, due to the revival of Goryeo Dynasty, contact with the emerging Chinese country of Songnara increased, and medical exchanges were encouraged so exchange of medical books, drugs and medical workers took place in various forms. In addition, thanks to the development of printing technology, Indian medical books started to be disseminated. After Goryeo beat to defeat the Kitan, the national power became powerful worldwide, and foreign exchange became active. In 1010, the early part of middle, it is estimated that India's medical books were recorded in a book when sculpturing the first edition of Tripitaka Koreana (초조대장경, 初雕大藏經), but actually they were washed away so it is difficult to identify. The term " herbal medicine " (our own medicine) appears in the late 12th century. just like Silla, the rulers of the Goryeo Dynasty valued only the Dangjae imported from China and disdained medicines which were produced in Korea. So when the king became ill, royal court bought expensive Dangjae and invited medical workers from China. However, the poor people started to collect and use herbs directly from the mountains, through the actual use of medicines and exchange from abroad, many people found that the medicines which grew in our mountain and stream were great and due to that, herbal medicine started to be developed. Accordingly, as entered the 12th century, good books about herbal medicine began to be described. In particular, the emergency services department was able to use the prescription when it was detailed, available to everyone, and, as its name suggests, there was no urgent need for a doctor. In particular, (향약구급방, 鄕藥救急方)'s prescriptions were detailed and it was available to everyone. As its name suggests, it was used when you were in an emergency situation but you couldn't call the doctor.

The Late Period of Goryeo Dynasty
It further strengthened the independent basis of Goryeo medicine by developing the technical books about the herbal remedy, which had been studied since the latter half of the middle period. Goryeo had a smooth cultural exchange with the Great Yuan, as for medical exchanges, especially when the Queen was ill, she invited the Great Yuan doctor to visit her. Also, the Great Yuan king invited the Goryeo Doctor. Over the past 100 years, the Great Yuan and Goryeo exchanged medicines 20 times, and important medical supplies were exchanged too. In 1389, Jeong do-jeon compiled a book called Jinmaek Dogyeol (진맥도결, 診脈圖結) which was an easy explanation of the pulse method. The pulse method is a method of checking the pulse to determine the condition of a disease. It can determine disease symptoms by counting and analizing the patient's pulse and predict its progress and outcome.
