Elucidating the Uses of the Plant Veronica Incana from the Ancient Medical Books

Background: Medicinal plant research has been successfully carried out in the field of pharmacy and pharmacology in Mongolia, and dozens of research projects are still being carried out. However, there are still fewer studied medicinal plants of practical importance growing in Mongolia. Therefore, there is a need to register and study the ancient medicinal books written by ancient Mongolian doctors about the relatively little-studied Veronica Incana plant. In addition, taking into account that scientific research on Veronica Incana , which grows in Mongolia, has not been done in the field of medicine. Therefore, the topic was selected for research in this field. Purpose: Comparing the information of the ancient medical books written by Mongolian doctors and scientists, who wrote about Veronica Incana , to clarify the taste, power, and quality. Research materials and methods: 1. Research materials: Sumbe khamba Ishbaljir. gso dpyad bdud rtsi 'i chu rgyun gyi cha lag gi nang tshan gyi sman so so'i mngon brjod dang ngos 'dzin shel dkar me long.

Wooden printing block with Tibetan script. 2. Research methods: Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study. Conclusion: Gandhabhatra plant is used in traditional Mongolian medicinal practices from ancient times, the plant is called Veronica Incana in Latin. Also called Buural gandbadraa in Mongolian. On the other hand, the traditional medical doctors of China's Inner Mongolia and Tibet use Gandbadraa, the Latin name Gnaphalium affine D. Don. The appearance, shape, and color of the flowers of these two plants are different. According to the research of the source, the main instruction and usage of the plants are the same: to destroy benign tumors, to remove poison, to treat colds, and to stop cough.

In the last 54 years, 18 of those plants have been identified in cooperation with foreign scientists, and the results have been published in prestigious international journals.
For example, Batsuren.D "Chemical study of pharmacologically active substances of some medicinal plants of Mongolia" (1992), Tsetsegmaa.S "Phytochemistry of some species of Oxytropis" (1992), Choijhamts.G "Pharmacology of Peganum nigellastrum" (1993), Tserendulam.L "Chemistry and chemical technology of some kind of Bupleurum plants" (1995), Dungerdorj.D "On the problem of obtaining new medicinal preparations based on the phytochemical research of some species plants widely used in traditional medicine" (1996), G. Odontuya " A chemical study of alpha-pyrone compounds in the upper part of the Aeropart of Corniculate Spurgentian growing in Mongolia" (1997) so on.
Since 2000, Enkhjargal.D "Pharmacognosy study of herbal and dry extracts" (2001), Bayasgalan.B "Evaluating the quality of some traditional Mongolian medicines and improving standardization" (2001), Purevsuren.S "Chemistry of two types of Oxytropis" (2002) can be named research works in many fields. 1lthough there have been many successful research projects in the field of pharmacology and pharmacy, there are still little-studied plants of practical importance growing in Mongolia.
Therefore, we have chosen the topic for research in this field, taking into account that there is little scientific research and ancient medical books on Veronica Incana written by traditional Mongolian doctors in the field of medicine since the 20th century.Taste and quality: Sour, earthy taste, cool, light, mild, sweet quality.

Gandbadraa (གནྡ ྷ ་བྷ་དྲ
) is a medicinal herb with long stems similar to mountain ginseng.Similar to jahur (རྒ ྱ ་ཁུ ར) it has yellow saffron-like flowers with narrow leaves.And there is something light-colored, sweet-smelling, with fluffy flowers.
It is said that these two white and yellow species are useful for benign tumor breakouts, pale phlegm, gout, kidney disease, colds, and poison. 3in Jambaldorj "gso byed bdud rtsi'i 'khrul med ngos 'dzin bzo rig me long du rnam par shar ba mdzes mtshar mig rgyan zhes bya ba bzhugs so".Wooden printing block with Tibetan script contains the following information about the Veronica Incana.

In Mongolian Gandbadraa, In Sanskrit gandha bhatra(གནྡ ྷ ་བྷ་དྲ )
In Chinese: ling li'ng sh'ng It has a Sanskrit name and is used as a sweet fragrance in ancient Tibet.Jahuradil is also the same but has narrow leaves and long stems, the seed head is similar to that of Edelweiss, pale yellow, and has flowers in four divisions, and the smell is very good.In "Crystal Ball" it is described that: "Gandbadraa is useful for benign tumor breakouts". 4 further examined the information of Buural Gandbadraa, based on the work of Toin Jambaldorj, and compared it with the information of Gandbadraa in the main works of traditional medicine researchers of Inner Mongolia and Tibet of China.

Pharmacological researchers of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China call Gandhabhadra in Sanskrit, as Khiburgene in

DISCUSSIONS
Pharmacological researchers of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China call Gandhabhadra as Khiburgene, which is similar to the use of the leaves and whole herb of Gnaphalium affine in Latin by doctors in Sanskrit, gandha patra, gandha bhatra.But in Mongolia, Gandhabhadra is considered as Veronica incana and used in medicine.
Sumbe Khamba Ishbaljir's "shel dkar me long." says, "It is useful for eliminating echinococcus, pale phlegm, gout, kidney disease, gout, cough, and poison disease", 3 and in Toin Jambaldorji's "mdzes mtshar mig rgyan", "Gandhabhadra is useful for hard mass and phlegm".This potency and indications 4 are basically the same as the "potency to eliminate echinococcus, remove poison and phlegm, and stop cough" in the Mongolian Medicine book as mentioned in the Encyclopedia of Medicine of China. 5However, Veronica incana and Gnaphalium affine differ greatly in appearance and color.
The Encyclopedia of Medicine of China published in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China: Mongolian Medicine book mentions that "Gnaphalium affine is a biennial herb of the root of chrysanthemum and sometimes the dried whole herb of Gnaphalium tranzschelli Kirp" is used.In the book "'khrungs dpe dri med shel gyi me long" published by the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, Gandhabhadra is described as Gnaphalium affine D. Don, 6 and the external characteristics of the plant are basically the same as the description of the researchers of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China.For example: "Its appearance is covered with pale bushy grass, with a pale orange root like a slender stalk.The stem is branched from the root and is 15-30 cm long and 0.1-0.2cm in diameter.Root leaves grow in a row, the leaf surface is folded and crumpled.When it is soaked in water and unfolded, it is spoon-shaped or round flattened, girdle-flat, oblique-flat, 2-6 cm long, 0.3-1 cm wide, with a thick margin, and both sides are covered with erect pale cotton hairs.Golden yellow, yellowish-brown, or orange in color, abundant head-shaped inflorescences, and slightly fragrant".However, Gandhabhadra (Veronica incana), which grows in Mongolia, is a 20-50 cm tall perennial herb belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family.All parts of the plant have felt white hairs.It has been described as having a light blue sparse pappus-shaped calyx. 2 As a result of the research, we have further confirmed that in ancient times, Mongolian doctors used medicinal plants grown in India and Tibet instead of medicinal plants from abroad due to poor availability and quality.When used as a substitute, instead of the external shape, form, or color of the flowers, the medicinal properties contained in the plant were mainly shown, and they were used according to the criteria of taste, strength, potency, and quality.Gandhabhadra (Gnaphalium affine D. Don) is grown in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region and Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, although the shape, form, and color of the flowers are different, they have the same ability to eliminate hard mass, remove poison, relieve phlegm, and stop cough.In Mongolia, it is called Буурал ганьдбадраа in Mongolian, while it is called Gandhabhadra or Khiburgene in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China.

CONCLUSION
Gandhabhatra plant is used in traditional Mongolian medicinal practices from ancient times, the plant is called Veronica Incana in Latin.Also called Buural gandbadraa in Mongolian.On the other hand, the traditional medical doctors of China's Inner Mongolia and Tibet use Gandbadraa, the Latin name Gnaphalium affine D. Don.The appearance, shape, and color of the flowers of these two plants are different.According to the research of the source, the main instruction and usage of the plants are the same: to destroy benign tumors, to remove poison, to treat colds, and to stop cough.
