Ethnographic values of the Kazakhs of Saryarka: traditional medicine (based on materials from the Akmola ethnographic expedition)

Abstract

Today the problem of preserving national spiritual and cultural values is very relevant. This article presents
materials about the folk medicine of the Kazakhs of Saryarka (based on materials from the Akmola ethnographic expedition), which have survived to this day. Information collected through comprehensive ethnographic research is presented in comparison with historical data. Attention is drawn to the fact that among the Kazakhs of the Akmola region these ethnographic values were directly inherited. Information about Kazakh traditional medicine is systematized on the basis of materials collected during a research expedition conducted by the authors of the article to the Akmola region in 2021-2022.
