Abstract:
Introduction:More than 30 years have passed since the revived and developed of traditional medicine, and dozens of textbooks and publications on traditional medicine have been published and qualified personnel have been trained. However, there is a need to drastically improve the quality of traditional medical care and the knowledge and skills of doctors. Therefore, it is important to translate, study books written by ancient physicians, maaramba, and scholars, and to apply theory, diagnosis, and treatment methods in training and practice.
Research materials and methods:Basic research materials: Naiman toin Jambaldorj (1792-1855). གསོ་བྱེད་མཛས་མཚར་ མིག་རྒྱན། Tibetan scripture of a wooden printing block.
Method:We used germenevtic method and checklist method.
Result:In the frame of this research, we used the medical sutra written by Jambaldorj as the main material in order to clarify the specialty and number of animal-oriented medicines in the “mdzes mtshar mig rgyan”. During the research, it was possible to clarify the structure, general content, and specialty of the sutra written by Jambaldorj, classify animal-oriented medicines according to the cyrillic alphabet, and make allegory names for some of the raw materials of animal origin. In addition, the study of animal-oriented medicines in the sutra showed that many issues were important, such as their identification, usages, and new production. As a result of the first study, we identified the characteristics and usages of some essential animal-oriented medicines.
Conclusion:Jambaldorj began writing the “mdzes mtshar mig rgyan” before leaving for Tibet, and later, during his pilgrimage to Tibet, he enriched and completed it in his book. It was found to correspond to the period 1817-1823. A selection of 124 animal-oriented medicines from the book “mdzes mtshar mig rgyan” was made. In this way, it is possible to interpret and explain the hidden meanings of animal-oriented medicines in this sutra, and to determine the usages of pharmacology and drug formulations.
