Abstract

It has been 35 years since Mongolian traditional medicine was revived and developed. During this time, dozens of textbooks and works have been published in traditional medicine research, and dozens of professional personnel have been trained. To do this, the knowledge given to traditional medicine students must be evidence-based and an optimal combination of tradition and innovation. In addition, the need to develop some branches of traditional medicine that have not been studied and whose care services are almost forgotten remains an urgent problem. One such field is the dermatology conventional medicine field, and we conducted this study to provide a scientific basis and evidence for the knowledge of medicinal crude drugs and medicinal ingredients used in the field. The crude drugs of traditional medicine for treating skin diseases are "Four Medical Tantras," "Handbook of Pharmacognosy," "Gso dpyad bdud rtsi 'i chu rgyun gyi cha lag gi nang tshan gyi sman so so'i mngon brjod dang ngos 'dzin shel dkar me long," "Gso by bud rtsi'i 'khrul med ngos 'dzin bzo rig me long du rnam par shar ba mazes matcher mig rgyan shes bya ba bugs so" were determined from the ancient medical books. These include Chelidonium majus L, Cassia obtusifolia L, Acacia (Сatechu Willd), Sesamum indicum DC, Ammopiptanthus mongolicus (Maxim) Cheng, Sambucus manshurica L, Galium verum L. By elucidating the early and present use of these medicinal crude drugs found in the pharmacology scriptures, further detailed research will provide an opportunity for the production of medicines and pharmaceutical products for skin diseases.
