Jonga, a Mongolian doctor from Hobogsair, traces his medical lineage back through four generations. He recalls Chanka, his oldest ancestor, who purportedly migrated to Hobogsair from the Volga region in 1771, albeit at the cost of losing his siblings during the journey. Initially, Jonga gained some medical knowledge under the supervision of a lama doctor named Legshid. Later, he enrolled in the state medical program, training as a barefoot doctor for fourteen years starting in 1984, and eventually he joined the Tabhin Usun Pasture Hospital. Currently, his family is continuing the medical practice, with his son and son-in-law establishing their Mongolian medical clinic in Hobogsair. Jonga’s practice once involved formulating herbal remedies from mountain-sourced ingredients, with medicinal concoctions typically comprising 15–30 components. Mongolian traditional medicine incorporates five fundamental ingredients: herbs, stones, soil, seeds, and flowers. Past treatments, such as wrapping arthritic joints with sheep rumen employing hot sheep fur or treating pregnant women experiencing fatigue with hot sheep rumen to alleviate discomfort, have largely faded from use among Oirats in Xinjiang nowadays. Throughout his extensive medical career, Jonga has striven to preserve Mongolian medical traditions, including the production of Mong, a fermented drink. Preparation involves boiling 100kg of fermented cow milk, whole sheep bones, and herbs in a large cauldron from dawn till dusk, yielding 30kg of medicinal wine. However, Jonga laments the shift towards theory-centric medical education, with modern students often lacking practical training opportunities. Mongolian medical practices encompass a range of treatments, including cupping therapy, herbal decoctions, sweating therapies, bloodletting, and thermotherapy. Yet, Jonga notes a concerning decline in herbal medicine availability due to factors such as increased livestock populations and climate change-induced droughts. Moreover, government restrictions now prevent Mongolian doctors from producing their medicines, necessitating reliance on imported products from companies in Qinghai province, China.
