Background:
As of 2019, according to the Health Indicators of the Mongolian population, diseases of the digestive system ranked second in terms of morbidity, with gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreatic diseases accounting for 14.2%,
and the proportion of surgeries related to these diseases is high.
Aim:
Explore the ingredients and recipes of traditional medicine used for gallbladder disease.
Materials and Methods:
“The four foundations of medicine-Анагаах ухааны дөрвөн үндэс” and their interpretations,
and source works were selected, and hermeneutic methodology, comparative method of source studies, historical classification method, and analysis-synthesis method were used.
Results:
A total of 43 recipes for treating gallstone disease were selected from the source texts. In terms of the method of
treatment, all of them were written as hot and cold. The medicine for gallstone heat disease was directly written in “Manag Renchinjunai-Mанаг рэнчинжунай”. The two recipes were explained as new and old in the “Four springs-Рашааны
дусал”. Although the contents written in other source books are the same as “The four foundations of medicine-Анагаах
ухааны дөрвөн үндэс”, the “The four foundations of medicine-Анагаах ухааны дөрвөн үндэс” are very clearly explained as medicines to be taken, decoctions, and medicines to be given when the effects of heat are delayed. There is
no difference in the following books and sutras regarding treatment, food and drink, and events. The method of adding
mantras to the national method of Uvdis is not written in other sutras. The medicine for gallstone cold disease was directly
written in “Manag Renchinjunai-Mанаг рэнчинжунай”. The amount of medicine in the “Four springs-Рашааны дусал”
was carefully calculated. “The four foundations of medicine-Анагаах ухааны дөрвөн үндэс”are astringent, emetic, laxative, stopping the tail of the tail, and cutting off the tail of the disease and replacing it. The method of treating the disease
is a method of adding charms to the root, and the “Four springs-Рашааны дусал” are also explained. The food and drink
and the event are not written in the Mанаг рэнчинжунай, and there is no difference in other books and scriptures.
Conclusion
While many recipes for treating gallbladder diseases have been discovered in traditional treatises, the number of recipes and medicines for treating gallbladder heat diseases is greater than the number of medicines for treating
gallbladder cold diseases.
