Abstract

Buryat medicine, which derived from Tibeto-Mongolian medical systemsand traditions, has thrived in the Transbaikal region from the eighteenthcentury. There are, however, two main streams in Buryat healing traditions: onederiving from Buryat folk medicine and the other, the main focus of thisarticle, scholarly Tibetan medicine, as transmitted through Mongolian medicalculture. As it was adopted in Buryatia, Tibeto-Mongolian medicine went through aprocess of adaptation to the local environment, most conspicuously in the fieldof pharmacology. It is here that we find the main original Buryat contributionsto the wider development of Tibeto Mongolian medical culture.
