Abstract:
Background:Traditional Mongolian medicine is one of the heritage which inherited since ancient times of nomadic
culture. The radical culture of Mongolian medicine is related to shamanism and initially, it was inherited
as “Dhom zasal” among folks and it was written and popular as “Sutra of Dhom” and “Sutra of Black
Dhom”.
Thus, to define the fundamental knowledge and methods of traditional cure by analysing from those
scriptures like, sutras and fetishism is the unavoidable and historical duties for the contemporary
medical researchers. Therefore, our mission was to study and recognize the historical facts of the
reason, situation and the generative factors of birth of remedies.
Material and Method:We used following study methods; manuscripts, primary source methods, hermeneutic method, and
historical comparative method.
The study materials were more than 20 sutras which have not studied fully. Furthermore, we used
scientist’s creatures and textbooks related to dhom zasal.
Results:It is important for define that, in which developmental period of Mongolian traditional medicine, the
mantic cure was formed and what it has been through to be inherited nowadays. If could do so, it
would be more accessible and orderly.
Recently, our medical researchers have reached to substantial success in study of medical history
and have come with conclusive result that the Mongolian traditional medicine has to be properly
staged into six developmental periods.
Further, the researchers have identified not only developmental stages of traditional medicine, but
defined stages of development of medical science in Mongolia.
Regarding to this developmental definition, formation of traditional remedies is belonged to the stage
of observation-based curing technique collecting (from prehistoric to 209 AD) period.
Conclusion:From our study, based on resources and factual statements, we found that, Dhom in Mongolian
means remedies which were initiated at primitive time due to their physical unwellness and improved
and developed from time to time. In fact, at the beginning, the remedy methods were empirical,
with no adequate sequences and involuntary, but it had been developed time by time throughout,
experiment and observations.
