Answer to Question 1

Hanyak is the traditional approach to natural cures in Korea. It is typically practiced by a hanui. When a client visits a hanui, he or she obtains a medical history, observes how the patient looks, listens to the quality of the voice, and takes the patient's pulse. More than twenty-four pulse conditions are defined, from floating to sunken, and smooth, vacant, or accelerated. Hanyak medications are classified according to their plant, animal, or mineral source, and mixed in ways to balance um (yin), yang, and ki. Other physical therapies to restore harmony and vital energy, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and sweating, may also be applied.
