About the book: 2012 / The sophisticated reader knows that on bookshelves you can find many reference books on Oriental medicine. However, few people know that such publications are compiled on the basis of two or three outdated printed sources that have long lost their relevance. The book you are holding in your hands is unique in its content. The copybooks collected in it were not copied from old books. From time immemorial, these original and surprisingly effective recipes were passed down from teacher to student orally and were not intended for widespread use. All of them were collected in remote regions during search expeditions by Savely Kashnitsky. The author had the opportunity to observe the results of many medicinal prescriptions, shocking in their effectiveness, with his own eyes directly during the practice of healers. The book includes hundreds of original recipes and recommendations collected during expeditions to the Middle East and Central Asia, Tibet, Mongolia, Tatarstan, Bulgaria, China and the Far East. This manual is not a textbook on medicine; all recommendations given in it should only be used after consultation with the attending physician.
