We take a great interest in "health" from various points of view, especially, the oriental training technique and the oriental medicine which put the oriental philosophy in practice. In this study, we tried to seize the present situation of the condition of persons that take interest in "the oriental medicine", and what their image about "the oriental medicine" was. As the result, we found that the image of "the oriental medicine" was easy to understand, stable, delicate, familiar as the age of subjects grew older. They had the curative image, abstract image, and mysterious image for "the oriental medicine". Free descriptions associated in their minds with it were the words of "a herb medicine", "Qi Gong (kikoh)", "acupuncture and moxibustion", "keiraku", "tsubo (an effective spot for applying moxa)", "comprehension", "tradition", "humanity", and so on. About the health condition, more subjects have a high blood pressure as the age of them grew older. It had the same tendency to the pain of the small of their back. In the manhood, the age of their vitality and their bodily powers became younger as the age of them grew older. In contrast with this, the age of their vitality and their bodily powers in the youth became older than their actual age.
