Development history of Mongolian medicine

Mongolian medicine is one of Mongolian cultural heritages and an important part of traditional medicine in China. It was gradually formed and developed by Mongolian people in long-term medical practice. It absorbed the essence of Tibetan medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Indian medical theory, and gradually formed a national traditional medicine with distinctive national characteristics, regional characteristics, unique theoretical system and clinical characteristics. Mongolian people have lived a nomadic life since ancient times, and in the struggle against natural disasters such as drought, cold, humidity and snowstorm, they have accumulated a lot of medical knowledge and methods suitable for the environment, production methods, living habits and geographical and climatic characteristics at that time. Because Mongolians mainly eat meat and milk foods from cattle, sheep and horses, they have a lot of knowledge about the medical functions of these animal products, and dietotherapy plays an important role in Mongolian medicine. Moxibustion therapy is also a common treatment method for early northern Mongolians. Because they live in cold and humid conditions, and because their ethnic groups are employed in the vast grasslands all the year round, they often suffer from war injuries, falls and fractures. Therefore, bone-setting, brain-strengthening and cauterization therapy are also very important for early Mongolian medicine.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 3rd century, Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, unified the Mongolian tribes and established the Mongolian Empire. Mongolian society has entered a new historical development stage. With the contacts with all ethnic groups in China, especially Han and Tibetan, and with India, Arabia and Europe, the economy and culture of the Mongols have developed and Mongolian characters have been created. Traditional Mongolian medicine therapy, clinical medication, theory and practice have been further developed and improved. New progress has been made in Mongolian medicine orthopedics, trauma treatment, koumiss therapy and pharmacology. It is recorded in yuan dynasty history that 1226 Mongolian army used rhubarb to treat plague. Cistanche deserticola, a special medicine in Inner Mongolia, is recorded in detail in books such as Diet and Compendium of Materia Medica.

/kloc-sharab Sanger, a Mongolian translator in the 4th century, translated Jin Guangming's The Best King Sutra into Mongolian. Subsequently, some theories of ancient Indian medicine first spread in Mongolia. 1576, Four Medical Canon, a classic of Tibetan medicine, was introduced into Mongolia. 17, at the end of this year, the Indian Buddhist classic "Tanzhu Sutra" was translated into Mongolian, which played an important role in the development of Mongolian medicine. On the basis of traditional medical practice, Mongolian medicine absorbed the theories of "He Yi", "purging the sun" and "Badagan" on the basis of the theories of Yin-Yang and Five Elements (Five Elements) of Tibetan medicine and ancient Indian medicine, and carried out creative reform and development in combination with Mongolian characteristics and folk therapy.

At the beginning of Qing dynasty, the orthopedics of Mongolian medicine developed to a new level. For example, mergen, a Mongolian doctor, can often dislocate and fracture joints that cannot be flexed. In "Four Parts of Ganlu", Shi Balaji expounded the theory and practice of "trauma medicine", "bone injury therapy", "dislocation reduction" and "concussion therapy" by combining the traditional medical experience and creative medicine of Mongolian medicine orthopedics, which greatly developed the theory and technology of Mongolian medicine surgery. In pharmacy, Mongolian medical scientists have created unique dispensing methods and medication methods suitable for this region, and at the same time absorbed the pharmacological theoretical knowledge of Chinese and Tibetan brothers, making their own pharmacological theory more perfect. /kloc-Two books in the 0/7th century, Guashang Qubing Ganlu Prescription and Pharmacy Wuwu Prescription Collection, reflect the side of Mongolian cold syndrome. Bai Jing Yao Jian, written by Isabaragil, is a rich book on Mongolian medicine, including 80 1 kinds of drugs, and written as medicinal bath, mineral spring therapy and so on. Classic of Mongolian Medicine is a relatively complete classic work of Mongolian medicine, including 879 drugs and 599 pictures. The synopsis of the golden chamber of Mongolian medicine is a relatively complete selection of prescriptions of Mongolian medicine, including 200 kinds of prescriptions of clinical disciplines such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, facial features, fever and infectious diseases.

In the diagnosis of diseases, diagnostics based on inquiry, observation and palpation have been formed and gradually branched. Five diagnostic methods, such as pulse-taking, urine test, consultation, diagnosis by experience and no diagnosis, are described in Pulse Diagnosis Summary and Ganlu Spring. The diagnosis method of trauma and dislocation in the New Original Medical Law of Yibailu is the product of the combination of traditional diagnosis method and theory. Clinical diseases are divided into internal medicine, fever, infectious diseases, etc. 13.

After the founding of New China, the Party and people attached great importance to the inheritance and development of Mongolian medicine, and translated and compiled many ancient books on Mongolian medicine. At present, Mongolian medicine widely uses natural scientific achievements and modern diagnostic methods, constantly enriches and innovates its traditional diagnostic methods, and becomes a brand-new national medicine, which has made due contributions to enriching and developing Chinese medicine and improving human health.

Sebusu therapy: the difficulty of inheriting Mongolian medicine delger submitted on Wednesday12/25/2013–14: 22 Wen Photography/Our reporter Chana Sebusu therapy is a traditional therapy of Mongolian medicine that has been passed down since the Yuan Dynasty. It once played a great role in Genghis Khan's fighter battle. This method of killing livestock on the spot and treating human diseases with their viscera and fur is one of the important skills of Mongolian medicine and adapts to the nomadic life of Mongolian people. However, with the change of people's lifestyle and medical environment, this therapy is facing the crisis of extinction. Mrs. Dalengtai, an old Mongolian doctor, is a non-genetic inheritor of Sebu therapy at the autonomous region level. Now only two or three patients receive this therapy every year. It is difficult for young Mongolian doctors to learn this traditional treatment from school, but in the real medical environment,
