Purpose: This study analyzed the innate organ characteristics and constitution of an individual based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, which is a core theory of oriental medicine. The purpose is to apply a constitutional identification method utilizing the Heavenly stem and Earthly branch to identify the interactions between weak organs, meridians, and muscles according to constitution, and to design and apply beauty health content, a modern and scientific personalized program suitable for the smart beauty era, based on this. Method: In order to explore the constitutive principles of the theory of yin-yang and the five elements, we investigated previous studies on the theory of yin-yang and the five elements in domestic research information services (RISS), government-funded research institutes, dissertations, and academic journals, and conducted a literature review of papers closely related to the content of this study. Results: The constitutional classification method using Heavenly stem and Earthly branch was able to achieve more precise classification than the existing Sasang Constitutional System or Eight Constitutional System, and the constitutional classification based on Yin-Yang and Five Elements Constitution Theory was confirmed to be closely related to physiological characteristics such as organ function, meridian flow, and muscles. Through this process, the basis for showing the applicability of managing meridians and muscles linked to weak organs by constitution was presented. Conclusion: This study analyzed the innate organ characteristics and constitution of an individual based on the constituent principles of Yin-Yang and Five Elements Constitution Theory. By supplementing the existing constitution analysis method and reflecting the physiological differences according to constitution, it enabled more scientific and efficient personalized management. This is evaluated as an alternative that can increase the feasibility and sustainability of constitution-based health management programs.
