According to the records in "Records of the Joseon Dynasty-Records of Jungjong", Dae Jang Geum was the first female imperial physician in the history of Joseon. There is not much written about this legendary figure in the history books. There are only a few records, mentioning that Zhongjong trusted Dae Jang Geum so much that he completely handed over his body to her for diagnosis and gave many rewards. It is a pity that even the best medical officers cannot resist the laws of birth, aging, sickness and death.
Jang Geum is a unique and strange woman in the history of North Korea. He has superb medical skills and the medicinal and dietary supplements he prepares are also very delicious. To this day, Jang Geum’s medicated diet and acupuncture secret recipes are still widely studied and promoted in the Korean traditional Chinese medicine community.
