Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda are three different forms of Asian traditional medicine. Although these traditions share a lot in common as holistic medicines, the different philosophical foundations found in each confer distinguishing attributes and unique qualities. SCM is based on a constitution-based approach, and is in this way relatively more similar to the Ayurvedic tradition than to the TCM, although many of the basic SCM theories were originally derived from TCM, a syndrome-based medicine. SCM and TCM use the same botanical materials that are distributed mainly in the East Asian region, but the basic principles of usage and the underlying rationale are completely different from each other. Meanwhile, the principles of the Ayurvedic use of botanical resources are very similar to those seen in SCM, but the medicinal herbs used in Ayurveda generally originate from the West Asian region which displays a different spectrum of flora.
三 Sä-sang 体质医学（SCM）、中医（TCM）和阿育吠陀是三种不同形式的亚洲传统医学。尽管这些传统在整体医学方面有很多共同之处，但在每一种传统中发现的不同哲学基础赋予了它们独特的属性和独特的品质。SCM 基于体质的方法，因此与阿育吠陀传统相比，它与 TCM 更为相似，尽管许多 SCM 的基本理论最初源自 TCM，一种基于综合征的医学。SCM 和 TCM 使用相同的植物材料，主要分布在东亚地区，但使用的基本原则和潜在的基本原理彼此完全不同。同时，阿育吠陀使用植物资源的原则与 SCM 中看到的非常相似，但阿育吠陀中使用的草药一般来自西亚地区，那里的植物群谱不同。
