Abstract:
Introduction:The text “Secret Medicine Recipes of Important Matters” represents a unique
heritage that embodies the theories and concepts of traditional Mongolian medicine, particularly as
a documentary source of medicinal composition. Through this work, it is important to examine the
terminology, theoretical and methodological concepts, and characteristics of medical works written in
Mongolian script within the field of traditional Mongolian medicine.
To conduct a study of the final words of the second volume of the “Secret Medicine Recipes for
Important Matters” and to compare and analyze the original text, including some outdated terms and
content.
Methods:The second volume of the book “Secret Medicine Recipes for Important Matters” is a
Mongolian manuscript. The book measures 22.7x22.3 cm and contains 111 pages. It is covered with
yellow silk featuring a floral pattern and is bound with four holes using twisted brownish-yellow thread.
The text is written on coarse paper with red lines. Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and
translated methods were used in the study.
Conclusion:The second volume of the “Secret Medicine Recipes for Important Matters” contains a
description of the nasal immunization method of the white ash medicine used for disease prevention.
The method involves administering the substance through the nose to regulate sputum, and from
a modern perspective, it can be interpreted as a live vaccination. The most optimal version of this
method was created by Tsakhar Geshe Luvsanchultem and written in his work, and later used as an
injection for the three Gobi Gurvan Saikhan’s Sharav maaramba.
