“…Constitution could be a difficult word to comprehend with current medical science. Nevertheless, analysis of body constitution has been in practice in most complementary and alternative systems of medicine [55][56][57]. However viewed, it remains a basic concept.…”

Former articles have described the gist of the body. The neural, perfusional, and interconnective fascial elements provide the basic adaptive three dimensions in the body since before birth to adulthood as their formation mode each other under similar mechanic-chemico-biological cues into the contextual assembly of the body. With the organ systems operating and self-vitality subsystems adaptively moulding, the individual lives while body form, body state, and body disposition are manifest. For these, there may be irregularities and abnormalities, but the person has the capacity to be snug and fit in living. Defining health or disease depends on sufficiency to live for life's sake, apart from normality standard for clinician's sake. Most previous understanding of diseases have concentrated on abnormalities but neglect how the whole person shades from normality shifting to abnormality. With more overlapping findings in health and disease conditions recognized, this paper tries to bridge what is yet not covered in orthodox medicine. A new body map could emerge and diagnosis should more comprehensively bridge these dichotomized normality and naturalistic approaches. The body form and body state is described from its understanding to its deviations and irregularities. The clinical framework is put forward for clinicians not to miss the main four domains. The clinical framework to be more comprehensive should include looking at the disease generally and locally as well as examining the body for the elaborate details in form makeup and body state in terms of a conglomerate profile. Lacking one of these four clinical domains in clinical presentation may greatly bias treatment methods. This understanding would also help developing better therapy modalities and can bridge Chinese and Western Medicine.
