Abstract:
Choijamts, the Buddhist image-maker and dge long of the Niislel Khuree (Capital Camp), lived
during the last period of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He wrote a book “Gso rig gzhung mang
bsdus pa’i bdud rtsi’i snying po tsha grang zug rngu sel ba’i ngo mtshar dga’ ston gter mdzod zhes
bya ba bzhugs so” in short ngo mtshar dga’ ston gter mdzod. This is the comprehensive book about
Traditional Mongolian medicine in Tibetan language and written by Mongolian scholar.
In the chapter 126, Choijamts mentioned a special treatment hi calls “Mongol cure.” In this chapter,
patients have a bath with boiled, hot, and warm essences with ingredients of distilled whey, mare’s
milk, vodka, tea, salt, salt-marsh, and Artemisia absinthium. Artemisia was use in order to cure
kidneys, bad blood, and bile, hands, and legs to become numb, rheumatism, and bam-scurvy. Also
it was mentioned that it is very good to cure tsagaan huyan (chronic of nerves) diseases and other
radiculopathy. Careful preparations of that cure are vital before the Mongol cure-whey treatment
begins.
Choijamts classified 30 commonly occurring diseases out of 64 wind diseases plus 47 bile’s
diseases into warm and cold diseases. Also he divided phlegm into own root and other’s root. Then
he classified further 6 common diseases out of 41 own root diseases and other’s root diseases as
ulcer (bor uvchin) and chronic phlegm (badgan) disease in respiratory organ. Also he taught that
ulcer is warm disease and phlegm is cold disease. In addition, he healed 30 wind diseases with 3
different medicines.
In addition, he mentioned that what kind of prescription is more effective to the diseases based on
his own experience. Specifically, he describes how to choose the most popular prescription and how
to prescribe the prescriptions in terms of weather and body temperament.
