Abstract:

People's medicine, which is as ancient as human history, is still functional today with its practical methods in the diagnosis and treatment of some diseases, despite the rapid progress and development of modern medical science every day. The origins of the Kazak People's Medicine, with a rich and root history, are based on beliefs such as shamanism, totemism. Foods from different sources to the present day in the public science have been studied the origins of different-named public doctors such as care, breastfeeding, marriage, medicine, loving, balger, molla. It is known that the Kazak people's care tradition and the source of inspiration of public medicine is Dede Korkut and his fears. Today, most of the public doctors are continuing their activities on the footsteps of Dede Korkut. In this study, Fear Atay has been placed on some of the practices of care of the peers and master who accepted him. Not only in the place or region they have lived, but in the entire Kazakh geography, the history and development of the tradition of the care, the source of transition to the care, the place of the care in society, the task and the opinions revealed about them, the special clothes that the care wearing and the very important, sacred instruments during the ritual have been introduced and evaluated. Our study focuses on the identification of the methods of cure, which were the first practitioners of Kazakh folk medicine, and the change of shape in the time stage. The determination of cultural codes and the appropriate transfer to the next generations can be done in many different ways. When we look at the sources to date, we see that most of the studies are based on the time-time-person triangle. The aim of the Kazakh folk medicine methods and those who perform this work is to describe the struggles to exist in the cultural transition process and then try to understand how the tradition has changed shape and to introduce it to the world of science.
