MAIN PURPOSE:

Mongolian medicine is a precious heritage and medical art with a history of more than 5000 years. Ethnomedicine is a method of preventing disease and healing the human body in the event of an illness, proven by centuries of practical observation (ethnomedicine), developing a knowledge-based economy, and making the name of Mongolia known to the world.

Today, the world tends to abandon synthetic drugs and strive to use traditional medicines and treatment methods that are harmless to the human body, natural, and have been used for centuries. In recent times, ethnopharmacology is based on the interrelationship between medicine and medicinal raw materials that have been used in modern medicine.

In ethnomedicine, ethnopharmacology, ethnobotany, raw medicinal plants that have been used in folk medicine and traditional medicine are combined to create new medicinal forms, traditional indications, and the nature of biologically active compounds contained plants are extracted based on the combination of geography and ecosystem harmony.
