Abstract:
Background:Throughout history, Mongolians experienced struggles of ups and downs, creating a comprehensive
teaching, knowledge, and system on the art and science of living and healthy living and passing
it on to the next generation. Since the middle of the last century, the use and study of traditional
knowledge have decreased, and with it, the use has decreased, and some knowledge has almost
been forgotten. In particular, many branches of traditional medicine, including manual techniques,
surgical methods, techniques related to surgery, the use of tools, and the skills of pressing, bone
setting, and massage have declined in value, and some methods have almost been forgotten.
Therefore, we have chosen the topic due to the need of exploring the possibility of solving this issue
and enriching the history of traditional medicine by elucidating the ancient historical development of
Mongolian bone-setting therapy, of which reports and historical documents in Mongolian medicine
are rare.
Research goal:To clarify the ancient history of Mongolian bone-setting therapy, establishing its features, usage,
and types of methods based on historical evidence.
The following methods were used in the research
Herein: the method of researching original documents and reports, the method of comparison, and
the method of probabilistic listing.
Conclusion:
1. Evidence related to ancient Mongolian bone-setting therapy dates back to the
Iron Age and can be traced back to 2000 years ago from the traces of illness and injuries, bone
ossification, and signs of healing of the ancient nomads living in Chandman mountain of present
day Uvs province, the tribe known as Chandman people.
2. The research shows that it is possible to determine which diseases were prevalent based on
the study of related artifacts and scriptures related to Traditional Mongolian medicine, and which
methods of treatment were used using archaeological finds and scriptures related to the diseases.
