FOLK MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO WATER: ETHNOGRAPHIC ASPECTS
Annotation
“Indigenous knowledge” and “spiritual culture” are closely related to each other. The Kazakh people live
inextricably with nature, living by its laws, understanding its language, and also learned how to anticipate and
understand natural phenomena. They were able to use the gifts of nature in traditional life and to know the signs
associated with nature, which were passed on from generation to generation. The indigenous medical knowledge
of Kazakhs consists in how they were treated and how they used natural means. Honoring Mother Earth, our
ancestors worshiped the water. Water was not only revered but also tried to establish a literate "dialogue" with it.
And attempts to build a dialogue with water gave brilliant results. Indigenous knowledge associated with water
passed on from generation to generation. To date, this knowledge has benefited not only the implementations but
also the spiritual development of mankind.
