Abstract:
Introduction:It is necessary and right to study and analyze all aspects of drug materials now when number of mineral
based drugs are reducing. Especially it is very important for further researches to properly establish
names and number of raw materials for traditional drugs based on ancient scripts.
Goal:To carry out comparative study on mineral based drugs numbers and their differences mentioned in
Mongolian and Tibetan manuscripts about drug identification methods using ‘Four basics of medicine’
book and its interpretations as a source.
Materials and Methods:The study was conducted using methods of ‘Comparing manuscript sources studies’, ‘Analyses and
syntheses’ for determining numbers and described with ‘Hermeneutics’ methodology. The study was
based on approved methodology and ethical review in December 2018.
Results:As it was compiled from manuscripts number of drugs mentioned in Four basic roots of medicine was 57,
Ancestors’ important teachings – 68, Blue binderya – 77, Golden descript – 87, Clear crystal beads about
medicine – 134, White crystal mirror – 121, Beauty eyes décor – 96. It is seen that books written about
mineral based drugs became more comprehensive compared with previous manuscripts and authors
