Explanation of precious medicines in the ancient medical books written by Maaramba Luvsanchoidog

Abstract

Background: The medical works written by Darmo Maaramba Luvsanchoidog have been an important source for the theory, treatment, training, and research of traditional Mongolian medicine. In recent years, a number of his medical books written by dbu med (in English headless scriptures) have been found, but they are difÏcult to read or translate and have not been studied at all in Mongolia. Therefore, the study has been carried out to facilitate the use of handwriting medical scriptures by Darmo Maaramba Luvsanchoidog for research, teaching, and explaining complex words in his books. Aim: Explain the difÏcult words related to precious medicines in the book called “legs bshad be ed’u dkar poi ‘phreng ba zhes bya ba bzhugs so” written by Darmo Maaramba Luvsanchoidog. Materials and Methods: Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and analysis and synthesis were used in the study. Results: The composition of the precious medicine is unique in that it can stop the disease from the root and does not reactivate the disease more than other medicines. In addition, it is mainly used to cure dead-end diseases and relieve chronic diseases after being treated with other sedative ingredients. There is a wide range of medicinal properties of precious medicinal ingredients. In particular, ring srel (in English relic), which has long been forgotten in traditional medicine, has gained practical significance as it clearly explains its classification, nature, and use. Conclusions: In the book “legs bshad be ed’u dkar poi ‘phreng ba zhes bya ba bzhugs so” written by Darmo Maaramba Luvsanchoidog clearly outlines the method of analyzing the sources of many precious medicines. Furthermore, the research identified that “legs bshad be ed’u dkar poi ‘phreng ba zhes bya ba bzhugs so” is a significant work to understand precious medicines in the main scriptures of medicine and thoroughly explain their content and terminology.
