Description

<p>Shinshin-ichinyo is the concept derived from Zen Buddhism in Japan in which mind and body connect with and negate each other at the same time. Western medicine has been dealing with “organs and diseases” based on mind-­body dualism, but Oriental medicine has been dealing with “patients with disease” based on this con­cept. Psychosomatic medicine was established as holistic medicine by using this concept, and becomes popular in the field of general medicine, but it is still unclear who introduced this concept to the field of Kampo or tra­ditional Japanese medicine. Here I explored one possibility by investigating some literature.</p>
