Abstract:
Background:Medicines with unique healing methods and European medical treatments and services, which have been
used around the world to this day, are now being used in a combined form in the healthcare services of many countries,
and the possibility of integrating them is a widely discussed issue among researchers. It is noteworthy that no independent
research has yet been published that has analyzed in detail how the influence of Chinese and other medical schools has
been reflected in the development of Traditional Mongolian medicine. It is considered important to analyze this issue
individually, in each direction, to clarify the historical process of how Traditional Mongolian medicine was formed today.
Aim:Conduct research within specific codes in the works of Mongolian doctors to identify the presence of Chinese med
ical data, knowledge, and information.
Materials and Methods:The research was conducted using a qualitative research method based on historical and source
books. Our study employed content and thematic analysis, utilizing coding and the identification of recurring patterns in
the source text.
Results: The results of the coding study show that most of the data used from Chinese meicines falls under the code
“infection”. In Sumbe Khamba Ishbaljir’s sourcebook, 42.8% of the information was coded as infection, in Tsakhar
Gevsh Luvsanchultemi’s sourcebook 50%, in Mindol Khutagt Jambalchoyjidanzanperenle’s sourcebook 47.05%, and in
Ishdanzanvanjil’s “Shuren Chimeg” 87.5% was coded as infection. After that, when the information included in the code
“injury” is classified by each sourcebooks, 33.3% is found in Ishbaljir’s sourcebook, 0% in Luvsanchultem, 24% in Min
dol Khutagt Jambalchoyjidanzanperenley, and 6.25% in Ishdanzanvanjil, which ranks second among all codes.
Conclusion:1. According to the research results, 56.66% of the Chinese medical information in the above works is related to in
fection cases.
2. The integration of Chinese medicine learning with Traditional Mongolian medicine methods during epidemics such
as “Bodoo” may be a major influencing factor that has shaped the current integrative medicine process.
