In this study a correspondence between Lee-HyungYik (李馨益)’s Burnchim (燔鍼) and InJo (仁祖)’s illness was made and Lee-HyungYik (李馨益)’s Burnchim (燔鍼) was examined in detail. The data researched was an article about Lee-HyungYik’s Burnchim treatment that appeared in the Daily Records of the Royal Secretariat [『承政院日記』]. Based on this article, comparisons and contrasts with the contents of Shin-Eung Kyung (『神應經』)’s ChimGuKyungHumBang (『鍼灸經驗方』) were made. As a result, it was found that Lee-HyungYik’s Burnchim can be categorized as a kind of Burning Acupuncture Therapy [火鍼] and that his method succeeds that of Shin-Eung Kyung. It can be seen as a specialized version of the treatment methods for ‘Kansa & Thirteen Acupoints’ (‘間使 and 十三穴’). This method was used to treat QueSa (鬼邪), which corresponds to the fact that InJo was agonizing over the imprecation incident in the palace at that time. The specific method of Burnchim is similar to that of HuaChimchinlZyung (火鍼七鋥) mentioned in ChimGuKyung- HumBang; it is highly possible that the method introduced in ChimGuKyungHumBang is a description of Lee- HyungYik’s Burnchim.
