Abstract:
The “Oral Instruction Tantra” of the “Four Medical Tantras” divides diseases in children into 4
parts: causes, condition, categories, and symptoms. The diseases are proven with inquiries and
examination by touching and looking. The most interesting type of examination is considered to
be touching, which the main part is pulse-feeling. However, pulse feeling of children in traditional
medicine is different from that of adults.
The general diagnostic method of traditional medicine consists of 3 parts: pulse reading, visual
diagnosis (tongue and urine), hearing, and investigation. The diagnostic method of pediatrics in
traditional medicine is based on the general method but different in some ways in consistence with
the classification of diseases in children.
The following conclusions are being made from the study. The basis of a pediatrics in Mongolia
established when Mongolians began to learn the “Four Medical Tantras” of Indian Ayurvedic
medicine in Sanskrit.
Since then, Mongolian doctors and scientists have created many works based on the books of
Indian and Tibetan medicine scholars. Among them, there are several books about method of ear
vein reading written by Mongolian doctors and scholars.
This is confirmed by this study. In addition to our study, it is also important for biographies of people
who have been involved in the creation of the traditional knowledge including traditional medicine.
