ABSTRACT: The relevance of this article is related to the Kyrgyz people’s skills in
using natural wool for the treatment of various diseases in nomadic life. As a
source of natural resources, sheep and goat wool with mineral substances were
used. Sheep’s wool is the main source of wool in the Kyrgyz people’s nomadic
life. Sheep wool is also widely used in traditional Kyrgyz medicine. The Kyrgyz
people knew from their nomadic experience, and scientists determined that the
physical properties and chemical composition of wool had a very positive effect
on human health. Theoretical methods were based
on the scholarly and scientific article’s analysis in historical aspect.
Empirical method is a popular and important research method in ethnology, which
was implemented through surveys, participation in the process, observations and
interviews of informants who are familiar with traditional medicine and wool
products’ health effects. Research results were obtained using the
comparative-historical method through a scientific cycle and a hypothesis. The
article describes how the Kyrgyz people were able to work in a variety of ways
in nomadic life, as well as promoting good health.
