Korean medicine traditions go back as far as 3000 BCE and flourished during the Joseon dynasty. Many important medicinal texts and books were published during this period. One of the most credited and honored royal physicians from the Joseon dynasty was Heo Jun, the author of Dongeui Bogam (동의보감), translated as "Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine," written in 1613. The book is regarded as important in traditional Korean medicine and is one of the classics of Oriental medicine today. It is one of Korea’s national treasures, currently preserved at the Korean National Library, and as of July 2009, it has earned UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme title.
ReSaltZ products embody many applications of Korean traditional medicine—acupuncture and herbal medicine—described in Dongeui Bogam. ReSaltZ follows the traditional method of collecting and blending medicinal herbs and plants, maximizing their healing powers. While doing so, ReSaltZ also combines these traditional medicinal remedies with modern innovation and technology, which Korea is best known for in the personal care and beauty industry.
The applications of ReSaltZ products are inspired by Dongeui Bogam’s acupuncture principles, encouraging massage practices for various pressure points on the face and body and using salt soaks to promote qi.
