- Abstract: As you know, until very recently the worldidentifi ed Mongolia only by Chinggis Khaan, and knew Mongolia as a poor nomadic country, where people lived in Mongolian gers. In fact, our ancestors not only mastered the art of war but also the art of fi ghting against disease, the eternal enemy of humankind. As one of the birthplaces of ancient nomadic civilization, Mongolia was one of the earliest land areas where medicines were developed. Our ancestors were able to invent treatments for sickness. These treatments grew out of their particular life style as nomads and our ancestors passed these treatments on to the known world at that time. Mongolian Medicine is one of the world’s oldest known medical systems, with a history of approximately 5000 years. Discovery of medical facts in ancient times was closely related to the Chinese and Tibetanmedical sources [1].Methods of the Research1/ Source study method The source-study method initially includes research activities of book, literary works, sources and papers. We made historical study on date of birthand place of the authors and their literary works in order of the written time period starting from the earliest, thus comparing special, innovative and creative ideas in terms of content and mentality with other original literary works by using research materials in accordance with the research goal and objectives.2/ The Comparative Method It is an attempt to identify similar or contrasting characteristics if any person compares notes,observations and other materials of their own when conducting a research on something.This method is used to choose specifi c types of things and comparing them, identifying all similar aspects of the compared things and summarizing and drawing conclusion. 3/ Listing method Listing or checklist method was used to list facts and evidence related history of medicine form parts describing them. This method is easy to use for diversifying and classifying information and collecting data. It is also suitable for carryingout the fi rst phase of evaluation. Moreover, its is possible to foresee planned activities and convenient as well as easy to enterit to database making it the basis of creating facts and evidence database. We used this method to list and count all facts and evidence mentioned in the research materials.
