Abstract:

 

According to Mongolian researchers, they believe that Mongolian Traditional Medicine have been developed over 5000 years, based on historical artifacts found in the territory of Mongolia.

During 12^th -13^th centuries, specialized health care crew of traditional medicine were organized at Chinggis Khan's military to provide medical services. Until early 20^th century, the traditional medical service had been provided by Buddhist monks named Healer Maramba. Also, specially trained healers treated broken bones and injures.

Throughout 20^th century, during communist regime, the method of traditional medicine was poorly supported by government, and mainly, European medicine had been used widely. Since transition to market economy in 1990s, traditional medicine has being widely used again. Traditional medical doctors, healers and researchers have been prepared in universities and colleges in Mongolia and further additionally training in China, Republic of Korea and in Japan.

As result of exploration work conducted in territory of Mongolia, more than 750 medicinal plants have been discovered and 150 medicines have been produced in Mongolia. Physiotherapy, European therapeutic instruments, natural spring water, mud, acupuncture needles, moxibustion therapy  and bloodletting therapy are used in Mongolian traditional medicine. Traditional therapeutics are most effective in rehabilitation for older people, injuries and trauma, post-stroke survivors and overall wellness.
